Lyrics
Not By a Long Shot
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Get a pen, make a list of your crimes and then hand it over.
Who says you can't switch sides? It's that simple.
And you can't make mistakes, but as men we are able to folly.
You say that's just fine. That makes no sense.
They'll throw that book at us,
and they're aiming for our young but they'll miss by a long shot.
Yeah not by a long shot
Will we join them?
Cause you're old and you're scared,
it's the luxury of youth that allows us to see a different side.
Do you remember?
A sudden surge of the tide,
saw it wash away life I say that we can prevent this.
You say it's a sign. Aren't you lucky?
Get a pen, make a list of your crimes and then hand it over.
Who says you can't switch sides? It's that simple.
And you can't make mistakes, but as men we are able to folly.
You say that's just fine. That makes no sense.
They'll throw that book at us,
and they're aiming for our young but they'll miss by a long shot.
Yeah not by a long shot
Will we join them?
Cause you're old and you're scared,
it's the luxury of youth that allows us to see a different side.
Do you remember?
A sudden surge of the tide,
saw it wash away life I say that we can prevent this.
You say it's a sign. Aren't you lucky?
