We Were Never Built to Last - Electric President

You’re on your own now.

We’re tired of lending hands

Our new agenda: it cuts you from all our plans

So get in line, boy.

And keep that mouth of yours closed

Don’t need opinions.

Just work them hands to bones

We stood in place and watched them tear us apart

They cut us open and ripped out all our parts

But we kept quiet.

We let them have their way

We made our point by having nothing to say

We all broke up right on cue

We’ll take you down with us too

You’d better jump ship.

This bastard is sinking fast

There’s nothing to save here.

Our worth has all but passed

The muddy waters are slipping in through the cracks

The ship is sinking

We sit on our hands and watch it all fall

No one blinks an eye

There’s not much worth saving

Just lots of buildings and concrete colored skies

But then you came and picked us up

You combed our hair, and made us look like people

And we learned to feed ourselves again

We built some homes and filled them full of clones

But we won’t wait until you get back.

We’ll be gone long before you arrive

We were never built to last.

But we’d like to tell you:

Thanks for the good time.

It was nice to have known you

We’ll all be just fine, and we’ll try to write you

We appreciate the lies, but we’re done believing you
