lyrics
In the trust
Of those who were just
Thrust from dust
Assembled in a rush
No one can take the place
Of my young hyperactive apes
Gathered round blasting cops away
In what looks like West L.A.
Pretty soon we see through the game
In a critical way
But the fun of playing it remains
All my friends
Will one day face down their ends
Disassemble then transcend
After five hours of Tony Hawk
I could stand and relearn to walk
It was round about midnight
When I think your dad turned out the lights
Pretty soon we can see in the dark
My cells are coming apart
And we kill the console and depart
Get on your fucking bikes
It's time to ride
Do we give up where we been down to?
Easier to just lie
I don't want to come in
Now I've captured a sigh
You only get so much time to mess this shit up
Before you (die)
How long until we repeat tonight?
Scurrying between headlights
Though out here I have nothing to hide
(We're) just shadows of primate shapes
On the planet of the apes
But all our friends are along for the ride
And I ride with my friends until we die
In the trust
Of those who were just
Thrust from dust
It was round about 3AM
Somebody said "we better get back in"
You gotta toe the lines while you're young
And only color outside them after you've already won
Pretty soon we see through the game in a critical way
But the fun of playing it remains and
Pretty soon we'll wash down the drain of the physical plane
And no trace of us existing will remain
