I commit myself to sabotage
See, I can get what I want
Then I make it hard to hold on
Convince myself that I'm without a god
A spiritual fraud that got lost in her own sad song
We were talking out back, by the garbage cans
'Bout dreams that we had, and the five-year plan
Missing the mark, I'm laughing in the dark
'Cause after all, no one's in control
Go easy, kid, it's only rock and roll
Pledge allegiance to some sanity
It comes into view for a moment or two
Then it leaves me
Apologizing to the neighborhood
And all the calls will be saved
Look I'd wanna be brave if I could
I was talking out back, with an empty man
He said "'Remember times that we had before you got in that van?"
Left me in the dark, alone in the park
'Cause after all, no one's in control
Go easy kid, it's only rock and roll
Cut through the smoke
There's no secret special code
No deeper hidden wisdom
Just accept we'll never know
We were talking out back, by the garbage cans
'Bout dreams that we had, and the five-year plan
Missing the mark, laughing in the dark
'Cause after all, no one's in control
Go easy, kid
In twenty years, kid
You're gonna look back
And wish you grabbed it by the throat
And said "Fuck it, it's only rock and roll"
