lyrics

Something I saw, I saw today
Slapped me right in the face
It told me there would be disaster
In the night while we were asleep

I've always wished my mind could breathe
What my parents wished I’d never see
No polish, seams, no empty opposites
Just light on forgotten scenes
Yeah

I don’t know why teachers taught us things we’ll never need
Never thought we’d be scolded for our questions till we’d listen and agree
Who says there won’t be brand new branches on the tree?
Maybe we’re the ones who step outside of the road you see

Saw my reflection look at me
From the television screen
It sold me answers, ran away faster than
An accidental lucid dream

I knew I had to tell my father
He said: “Son you shouldn’t bother”
I wasn’t surprised, I told my brother
So we smiled and said to each other

We don’t need no nine to five
We just want to feel alive
We just want to feel alive

I don’t know why teachers taught us things we’ll never need
Never thought we’d be scolded for our questions till we’d listen and agree
Who says there won’t be brand new branches on the tree?
Maybe we’re the ones who step outside of the road you see

Something I saw, I saw today
The seats are on fire at the back of the bus, lets go
Something I saw, I saw today
But the people aren’t moving cause they don’t know how to say no
