Let's talk about 

the way things were

let's talk about 

the way things should be

I think I'm certin, but

I'm not so sure 

if I'll deliver what is expected of me

let's make believe

that I'm OK

but I can't pretend

that were better than ever been

it's safe to say that we've forgotten

what our regrets were



[Chorus]

That's exactly what protesting is 

with no warnings

thinking kids will be kids will be kids and that is the end of...

need strength to fight resistance

couldn't get it right for the first time, couldn't get it right couldn't get it right

were nothin', were nothin', were nothin' without you

were nothin', were nothin', were nothin' without you

were nothin', were nothin', were nothin', without you

were nothin', were nothin', were nothin', without you



I've given up on acting like I'm perfect

I'd advise you all to do the same

perfection is the last time I checked

You'll be introduced for feeling ashamed 

let's talk about the things were

let's talk about the way things should be

I think I'm certin but I'm not so sure

if I'll turn my back

as soon as God lets me 



[Chorus]

'Cause that's exactaly what protesting  is

with no warning 

thinking kids will be kids, will be kids, be kids will be end of...

need strength to fight resistance

couldn't get it right for the first time, couldn't get it right, couldn't get it right

'cause when we try we always lose the refund

were nothin', were nothin', were nothin' without you

were nothin', were nothin', were nothin' without you

were nothin', were nothin, were nothin' without you

were nothin', were nothin', were nothin' without you

were nothin'



[Solo: Matt Thiessen]



You make me sure

while in the midst of propaganda and turbulance 

that my spirit soars only because it's yours 



[Chorus]



Were nothin', were nothin', were nothin' without you

were nothin', were nothin', were nothin' without you

were nothin', were nothin', were nothin' without you

were nothin', were nothin', were nothin' without you

were nothin'



'cause nothin' really matters 



[Chorus]



Were nothin', were nothin', were nothin' without you

were nothin', were nothin', were nothin' without you

were nothin', were nothin', were nothin' without you

were nothin', were nothin', were nothin' without you.
