[Verse 1]
I commit myself to sabotage
See? I can get what I want then I make it hard to hold on
Convince myself that I'm without a god
A spiritual fraud who got lost in her own sad song

[Chorus]
We've been talking outback
By the garbage cans
About dreams that we had
And the five-year plan
Missing the mark
We're laughing in the dark
'Cause after all, no one's in control
Go easy, kid, it's only rock and roll

[Verse 2]
Pledge allegiance to some sanity
It comes into view for a moment or two then it leaves me
Apologize into the neighborhood
And all the calls will be savеd, look, I'd wanna be brave if I could

[Chorus]
I was talking outback
With an empty man, hе said
"Remember times that we had
Before you got in that van?"
Left me in the dark
Alone in the park
'Cause after all, no one's in control
Go easy, kid, it's only rock and roll

[Bridge]
Cut through the smoke
There's no secret special code
No deeper hidden wisdom
Just accept we'll never know

[Chorus]
We've been talking outback
By the garbage cans
About dreams that we had
And the five-year plan
Missing the mark
We're laughing in the dark
'Cause after all, no one's in control
Go easy, kid
[Outro]
In twenty years, kid, you're going to look back
And wish you grabbed it all by the throat
And said, "Fuck it, it's only rock and roll"
