All these people that I know
Drop quotes and shout hello
As if life was a show
But I can't see there's an excuse
To enter in that world
To win there is to lose

And use all my life for a moment of truth
You follow your stars, it's the secret of youth
I lie in my bed, but there's stuff in my head
I want you to know
I want you tell me when you're coming
But don't say when you leave
Oh please tell me when you're coming
And say nothing else, say nothing when you

Yes, my mother said to me
"You won't get nothing free"
But little did she see
that all these companies we trust
are just a cover-up
for greedy peoples lust

And no I don't mind if you call me unkind
When I was nineteen, I gave up self-esteem
And of course I would fight if I knew what was right
But all that I know is that I want you to
Tell me when you're coming
But don't say when you leave
Oh please tell me when you're coming
But don't say when you leave
Oh please tell me when you're coming
But don't say when you leave
Oh please tell me when you're coming
And say nothing else, say nothing when you
