Learn to lose, it's easier that way

We've paid our dues, but we can't make life pay

All across the world, people going mad

In their mother's cars, the kids are feeling sad

That's how it is, and I'll see you later



Everything old is new again

Everything under the sun

Now that I'm back with you again

We hug and we kiss

We sit and make lists

We drink and I bandage your wrists



Wasted youth -- there wasn't much to waste

Down to the bone, and still losing weight

With all the wishing in the world glistening in her eyes

But when I say I love her, she thinks I'm telling lies

Is it all lost? No, we never had it



Everything old is new again

Everything under the sun

All of our fears come true again

Recycle reuse

Resent and refuse

Our parent's ideals and view



She thinks the afterlife might just be where the action is

With high schools built like prisons, she can't find a way to live

Moved back home to fill the empty nest

Afraid to roam, in love with second best

While somewhere in the world, she's hosting her own show

And everyone she questions never seems to know

Everything old is new again

Who they are and where they are going



Everything under the sun

Now that I'm without you again

I wake up and eat

I go back to sleep

And let my nightmares repeat



All across the world, people going mad
