We are the obvious ones and we are finding out, this is not my home - this is not where I’m from. Knocked down, how sweet the sound – nobody respected you. You had your head in the clouds ‘cause it gave you a clear view. Sensational, yet unoriginal – have you found which way to turn. I said ‘feel’ not ‘real’. I know just what makes you burn... when all I... We are the Obvious Ones and we’re finding out, this is not my home – this is not where I’m from. We are the Obvious Ones and we’re finding out, that come what may we are your dumb mistakes. Regret, like an unpaid debt. You never really thought this through, ya took a wrong turn down Faux Pas Avenue. Your liable, responsible – foolish pride got in your way. So get mad, that you’ve had you one and only very last chance... We are the Obvious Ones and we’re finding out, this is not my home – this is not where I’m from. We are the Obvious Ones and we’re finding out, that come what may we are your dumb mistakes.

Bricks N All 02:44
Hey! Hey you! You’re holdin’, holdin’ on to every word I say... So come with me but don’t you, don’t you dare! Leave you’re world behind. Again! Holdin’ on... ‘cause getting what you want
ain’t as easy when you’re on you’re own yeah...
Again! ‘cause getting what you want
ain’t as easy when you’re on you’re own yeah... Hey! Stop me from being OK with this, if I start running you better keep up! Bricks and all, your bridges - you let them fall, down around ya feet. Again! Holdin’ on... ‘cause getting what you want
ain’t as easy when you’re on you’re own yeah...
Again! ‘Cause getting what you want
ain’t as easy when you’re on you’re own yeah...

I’ve been hangin’ on a wire, while you’ve been gettin’ higher everyday. It’s too hard to remember, all the stupid fucking things that you say. You are a liar, ya keep lying to yaself - and any day now we’re gonna put you back up on that shelf. ‘Cause everything you thought you ever knew, was yours not my fear to fly, sticking to like glue! We sing hey! We’re finding out know, just how much this means to us! I’m getting tired, of fitting into place - I gotta get out not stayin’ in, the borders of your world hem me in. ‘Cause everything you thought you ever knew, was yours not my fear to fly, sticking to like glue! We sing hey! We’re finding out know, just how much this means to us! I believe in letting go, but you’ve been holding on so long. When I believe in everything you say...
In everything you say... In everything you say! I said: I believe in letting go, but you’ve been holding on so long. When I believe in everything you say! We’re singin’ hey! We’re finding out know, just how much this means to us!

You’re lost... yeah you’re lost, beneath the silence and the moss. You’re stuck... yeah you’re stuck, ‘cause ya never gave a fuck... If you lived or we died, ya missin’ out on a beautiful day. So what now oh what now? I’m startin’ to lose hope... everytime it seems I am repeating myself twice. A brick wall, how did it all... come to this? Can you help me now, I am running out of things to say.
Give it ten more years when everything has changed, you’ll still be the same. Ya scream blue murder not ‘how are you?’ when the door swings wide and the rent is overdue. Time hasn’t been good to you. If this is the centre of ya universe well I feel I should be reimbursed. Time is on our side! Can you help me now, I am running out of things to say.
Give it ten more years when everything has changed, you’ll still be the same. You’ll be the same, you’ll be the same... Can you help me now, I am running out of things to say.
Give it ten more years when everything has changed, you’ll still be the same.

Ya too thin! Ya too fat! We’re too this, we’re too that! The words that come out of ya mouth they make no sense. It’s over it’s over again, you know that it’s only when... Ya follow every move that’s made, the glossiness will never fade, Or so you keep tellin’ yaself - stuck behind a pathetic masquerade... Find you’re own way, burn the trends, find you’re own way home. I love everyone loves I love everyone loves I love everyone loves me! So frame ya face in your gallery space, but no one’s watching the walls except you, a great distraction - cause a reaction. Hang on.. You do WHAT for satisfaction?? Fancy names for messed up people, the D the N the A, it’s all relative to your vanity. So find you’re own way home.. I love everyone loves I love everyone loves I love everyone loves me!
I love everyone loves I love everyone loves I love everyone loves me! Find you’re own way, burn the trends, find you’re own way home!

It’s better that I know now, much better off knowing what I know now, If I’m getting out alive, then no amount of worrying will break my stride. I believe superstition, bad luck to my dismay! I gotta throw this salt over my shoulder, but will it make the pain go away? I hold to my chest a four-leaf clover, as I walk beneath a ladder - why worry? Over and over... all this caution, When all I know is I’m alive, and I know is I got time. This is who we are, we’re heading right back to the start.
Medicated love, sometimes the push turns into shove. So I believe in superstition, I’ll take what it throws at me. Push on through the smoke and mirrors, it won’t break the best of me. Mother Nature’s got her own way, you ain’t got much of a say so why worry? Over and over? All this concern... When all I know is I’m alive! This is who we are, we’re heading right back to the start.
Medicated love, sometimes the push turns into shove! You’re outta luck, gotta get unstuck yeah! I believe in, I believe in, I believe in superstition!
I believe in, I believe in, I believe in superstition! So I walked out on superstition...
