Forget about Norman 'small town' Rockwell

Scenes of simple life

Forget about savings and poignant phrasings,

Cigarettes and schoolyard fights

Let us out now Lord of our speed and fancy

Of our 'can you hear me now''s

And our techno loves

Drop us off on 55th and keep us reading Vonnegut

Point out now what we're careless of



My chance in life is worth letting go

Of all the trends they're setting so forgive me

If I'm so ordinary with

Extraordinary reasons to live

It's just like a boy to save his

Honor and his money

It's just like a girl to feel

It's just like a child to stand

And interrupt us all

And say I'll gladly take the fall for you



Now love, love, love, yes

It's all you need

John and Paul, Ringo, George profess

If I've got love

I can feel I can remember every meal

But like a gift it can be taken all away



My chance in life is worth letting go

Of all the trends they're setting so forgive me

If I'm so ordinary with

Extraordinary reasons to live

It's just like a boy to save his

Honor and his money

It's just like a girl to feel

It's just like a child to stand

And interrupt us all

And say I'll gladly take the fall for you

I'll gladly take the fall for you
