lyrics

I’ve lived so much in the past few days
And when I get out of this there won’t be a parade
I feel like things are getting more strange
And at the end of the test I hope I make the grade

We’ve all gone to kill the messenger
Because all he brings us is global garbage and fear

Keep your composure we’re about to switch gears
Stay close to your hopes and your fears
If that’s what you like to do I won’t hold it against you
And if it fits, well you should wear that shoe

I’ve lived so much in the past few days
And when I get out of this there won’t be a parade
I feel like things are getting more strange
And at the end of the test I hope I make the grade

I hope I make the grade
Hope I make the grade
I hope I make the grade

We’ve all gone to kill the messenger
Because we’re blaming him for what we don’t want to hear
We’ve all gone to kill the messenger
But he can’t control what was put in his ear and it’s not clear

I’ve lived so much in the past few days
And when I get out of this there won’t be a parade
I feel like things are getting less strange
And at the end of the test I hope I make the grade

I hope I make the grade
Hope I make the grade
Hope I make the grade
