Because We Do

As the world starts to fade

I'll turn on the rose parade

Watch my troubles float away as the petals fly

I could march to my own drum

But i'm twiddling my thumbs

And we like it because we do

At school i learn to pray

And to keep my thoughts at bay

Follow leaders, follow orders

Follow other people's dreams

This is where it all began

Here i sit when i should stand

And we like it because we do

And we like it because we do

The greatest prize to behold

It is life it can't be sold

But my eyes are set on gold

They mock us when they sing

So we trade them for a ring

And we like it because we do

And we like it because we do

And we like it because we do
