lyrics

We had so many plans
We had so many dreams
Why did so few of them come true
We didn't think too hard
We're just human beings
And human beings don't have a clue
We could live for tomorrow
Then pay back all we borrow

So many things we'd hoped we'd see
But now the future ain't what it used to be
Tried to make peace but what we just could not agree
And now the future ain't what it used to be

We wanted what we wanted
We lived like maniacs
Ate up all the fish in the sea
Smoked our cigarettes
Drove our SUVs
Did it all in the name of humanity
Never minded consequences
Thought in terms of present tenses

We only have ourselves to blame
Although we try to deny it
We may have yearned for a better way
But we never cared to apply it
