(Piano intro)

Take the train,
go separate ways,
and leave it long forgotten.
i'll hang my head, and
i won't be back.
on my way out,
i'm feeling lame.
am i to blame?
or am i just too jaded?
and i won't be back,
whatcha think of that?

when it feels like life's racing away,
i can say.. that when
there's something on my mind,
it takes my concentration.
just wanna lay it on the line,
avoid all confrontation.
i'm gonna say this one more time
for all my generation,
you'll never, ever pull my lever
not today and not forever
(not today and not forever)

take the fame
and change my name
because my jacket's faded
and i'll change my head
no we cant have that
(you'll be looking at a brand new gap(?))
it's all made up.
i've had enough
of this circulation.
if you write me back
i'll tell you where its at.

when it feels like life's racing away
i can say.. that when
there's something on my mind,
it takes my concentration.
just wanna lay it on the line,
avoid all confrontation.
i'm gonna say this one more time,
for all my generation.
you'll never, ever pull my lever,
not today and not forever.

something on my mind,
it takes my concentation.
just wanna lay it on the line,
avoid all confronation.
i'm gonna say this one more time,
you'll never, ever pull my lever,
not today and not forever.
(not today and not forever)

*instrumental break*

something on my mind,
it takes my concentration.
just wanna lay it on the line,
avoid all confrontation.
i'm gonna say this one more time,
for all my generation.
you'll never, ever pull my lever.
not today and not forever.

something on my concentration.
just wanna lay it on the line,
avoid all confrontation.
i'm gonna say this one more time,
for all my generation.
you'll never, ever pull my lever.
not today and not forever.
