Twenty Years

He is alive and kicking, and screaming

Calls it gymnastics

Calls it velocity

You spend twenty years climbing

And never change your mind, or change direction

And you call it the path of least resistance

You have everything you ever need



So you sing 'If you can't beat them join them"

All the way up to your floor

Memorise and repeat it

And sing it like you mean it



They are talking to me

And I'm nowhere to be found

There's somewhere else I had to be

Call it necessity

Mutiny, entropy

They think I'm down, they tell me I should brighten up

That's just 'cause they don't know an explosion when they see one



And they sing "If you can't beat them join them"

All the way up to your floor

Memorise and repeat it

And sing it like you mean it

All the way home to your front door

Yeah you better believe it

Sing it like you mean it



They are talking to me

And I am nowhere to be found



So you sing, so you sing

If you can't beat them join them

All the way up to your floor

Memorise and repeat it

And sing it like you mean it
