Long Long Gone

You were born into this mess, mommy's little brat
She'd like to wring your neck
And you're so secure that your daddy never lied
But that's just because your daddy never tried

Now daddy's gone and left you both for dead
And mommy's so fucked up, it seems she's lost her head
But you're smarter than they know, you've begun to advertise
And you've cancelled your subscription to the law
And you'll never think twice again about the planet you despise
Each breath you take here drags you further down
And so you walk onto the scene, and you're trying to be just like me
But then you tell yourself you'll never be that square

You wait until it's time, but it's too late
And you've lost your prime
And you're so demure for one so boldly cast
Just like Joan of Arc was, so solid 'til the last
But Joan lost her head (or was she burned at the stake?)
Either way she's gone and she won't remember me

But you're smarter than they know, you've begun to advertise
And you've cancelled your subscription to the law
And you'll never think twice again about the planet you despise
Each breath you take here drags you further down
And so you walk into the sea, cause you're trying to be just like me
But soon you will see you'll never be that scared
(long long long gone)
The king you knew is dead
(long long long gone)
And you take up the throne
(long long long gone)
Never to see streets again
(long long long gone)
To never be that old
