Operation Ivy
Here We Go Again
[Intro]
It's not the ending, it's the beginning
The ground is moist and it rained last night
Smells like smoke and it smells so clean
The sun shines down like a friendly white light
Here we go again

[Verse 1]
Analyzed the world I was born into
But I never could understand
Knew I never wanted to grow up
If that meant being a man
Dominating strict competition
Is the meaning of our lives
Stomping on the weak
Keeps us the winner of the battle in our minds

[Chorus]
Tensions in our lives that are destroying our minds
Unite themselves together, make our consciousness blind
Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away
If that's what they call normal, then I'd rather be insane

[Verse 2]
Relax yourself from giving up
What you want to do with your life
Ease up from giving up things like
Like control of your own mind
If you never ask any questions
Then you're never gonna get no answers
Always be wondering what do you want
While you keep getting older faster
[Chorus]
Tensions in your lives that are destroying our minds
Unite themselves together, make our consciousness blind
Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away
If that's what they call normal, then I'd rather be insane

[Chorus]
Tensions in our lives that are destroying our minds
Unite themselves together, make our consciousness blind
Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away
If that's what they call normal, then I'd rather be insane

[Verse 2]
Relax yourself from giving up
What you want to do with your life
Ease up from giving up things like
Like control of your own mind
If you never ask any questions
Then you're never gonna get no answers
Always be wondering what do you want
While you keep getting older faster

[Outro]
Here we go again
Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away
Here we go again
If that's what they call normal, rather be insane
Here we go again
Another test of manhood
Here we go again
Just when you thought you won
Here we go again
The more we keep competing
Here we go again
The more the battle's just begun
