It' starts with a barge Continues with a frown His scars are a badge This is his crown Geezers like strobe lights and club fights. Climb the ranks and reach new heights. I know 5-0 sirens will sound, You drag your knuckles because you can't get off the ground. Who'll call his mother when her son cannot be found. I know you've seen your name in lights but I'll watch them tear it down. He spends all of his days Moving mountains for gold and he'll throw it all away because there's stories to be told. He dreams of the ocean, sea sick in his sleep. The dance floors an ocean, the sinners swim deep. I know you think you're the boy, The gun in your hand it is not a toy, Man across the street shouting "oi oi", better think of a plan boy. I know 5-0 sirens will sound, You drag your knuckles because you can't get off the ground. Who'll call his mother when her son cannot be found. I know you've seen your name in lights but I'll watch them tear it down.

Oh Captain 03:34
I know I know, I'm not man that they portray Sail away and I'll decay - I promise I'm not okay I'm ten pints deep and I'm messed up, Why do I always act this way, a mucky little pup I am the ground you walk on tread carefully a broken surface but I'll cave in eventually If passion is a currency then soon they'd want to come and see all the kids at shows who've had there lows forget it all cause they found hope. How many pints of Guinness does it take, to make me ignore my complaints None of them are warranted I've got a home and food in my fridge Just because my ship has sunk before doesn't mean I won't make shore I am the ground you walk on tread carefully a broken surface but I'll cave in eventually If passion is a currency then soon they'd want to come and see all the kids at shows who've had there lows forget it all cause they found hope. I'm a better captain history won't keep me trapped in.

I find inspiration in the way kids ask questions No sign of adult life congestion We are not born with judgmental eyes just open hearts and worries cast aside So tired of your little lines There’s no road you need to go down, there’s a place for you in this town You can’t tell me How I should see everything Can I measure your soul? What unit would I use? If I asked you to be honest Would you refuse? Words cause pain but you'll See no bruise We are the young This is old news As years pass, Some have their vision blurred, with discrimination and thoughts absurd Hand turn fist, no longer a pacifist When on earth did I get to this? You can’t tell me How I should see everything Can I measure your soul What unit would I use? If I asked you to be honest Would you refuse? Words cause pain but you'll See no bruise WE ARE THE YOUNG THIS IS OLD NEWS
