"everybody drink, everybody drink till we drop..."

Been driving hours so we stopped for some gas then,
Filled up the tank, paid cash and ready to go, busted through the door
I thought to myself
Look at these people they all have their routines and they paint their picket fences whiter than me
And when the sun comes up, they make their breakfast so damn perfectly,
Only wish that i could have it this way
But i'm not coming home, at least not for a while, but when i do, i hope you do

Welcome me with open arms, don't knocking at my door,
Cause you're not a stranger
And they don't know me like, they don't know me like, you do,
But it's time to go
So maybe next time we can talk this through
I promise that i'll be there, cause no one knows me like, you do...

Was it something that i said that made you so upset?
The color of the sky can make it all better
Oh! look there's a plane, from where i came (hell yeah!), a sign of freedom, life's worth livin'
We scout like vultures in desert kind of hungry
This ain't no way to live, but this is what it all comes down to
Well i'm coming home, but just for a while, and when i do, i hope you do

Welcome me with open arms, don't knocking at my door,
Cause you're not a stranger
And they don't know me like, they don't know me like, you do,
But it's time to go
So maybe next time we can talk this through
I promise that i'll be there, cause no one knows me like, no one knows me like you.

All the way back, to the first time, when i closed my eyes...
They always said "you've got to move forth with your life, time to grow up". since i was young i recall that,
I couldn't make it alone and i know that, and i said "well i had dream where i felt alive, on the stage under all the heavy lights,
Their faces shine on to me (on to me), we're singing..."

Oh oh uh oh...

We do this all for free, it's something that we do
We stand, stand for something
And even when we're down to the last crumb we can all agree that, "this is the life"
So pick yourself up off the ground
It's time, timo to take a stand
For what you believe in, just heed our words
Cause we stand, stand for something!
