We All Sing Along

She was only seventeen, lost in the spaces in between

Looking for a place she could belong

He was a new face on the scene, another punk with his heart on his sleeve

He was gonna change the world with his song

But the world has its own ideas

We all must play the hand fate deals

When our plans have come and gone

We all share one heart song

We all sing along

We all sing along

Mrs. Jones cried herself to sleep, Valium and a bottle of gin to keep

Mrs. Jones' lonely body warm at night

Marriage ain't all she thought it would be, bought into the whole suburban fantasy

Everything was gonna be just right

But the world has its own ideas

We all must play the hand fate deals

When our plans have come and gone

We all share one heart song

We all sing along

We all sing along

When nothing turns out right, feels like a losing fight

Until we learn how to dance to that song

It's a symphony

And it goes on

An old man starts another day alone, a cardboard bed for his home

And feels the young ones stare behind his back

He sees himself in their pride, sees himself in their arrogant stride

He was gonna be a big CEO

But the world has its own ideas

We all must play the hand fate deals

When our plans have come and gone

We all sing one heart song

We all sing along

We all sing along

We all sing along

We all sing along

It goes on and on

It goes on and on

It goes on and on

It goes on and on

It goes on and on

It goes on and on

It goes on and on

It goes on and on
