Live It Up - Live At Austin City Limits Music Festival 2007
The sun don't set in Gettysville The place that I call home A thousand people walk these streets But we're still all alone
This city's isolation Like the drug that paves the roads Take the subway uptown To my mother's place
She's got a thousand friends But all they know of her's, her face All alone inside her head Her thoughts begin to race
Live it up Live it up they say Live it up No time to waste your life away
Next door to me the ceiling leaks Cracks stretch across the walls Like skeletons of dreams deceased Too brittle to evolve
He lies beneath his plastic sheets Bitter and blind to all Shadows beneath his sunken eyes Now taint all that he sees
Like burned and blackened photographs Life's easier a dream He settles for a cheap escape Forgets all he believed
Live it up Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Live it up they say Live it up Things haven't always been this way
I watched my whole world crumble As I dried my mother's tears And learned to never stumble As I calmed my father's fears
They say I've seen a lot They say I'm wise beyond my years Though my castle may have crumbled I won't face the world alone
The youth has seen the rubble And we're ready for the load As this city burns My generation's shouting in the roads
Live it up Live it up they say Live it up Things havn't always been this way
Live it up We better turn this boat around If we keep on following the gold Someday we are gonna run aground
Live it up Live it up we say Live it up 'Cause now its in our hands to make change
