[Verse 1]
We're ready to go, ticking like a bomb that's about to blow
It's taking control, pulling at your feet like an undertow
You don't really know if you're all that capable
But you've been told

[Pre-Chorus]
To figure it out
Don't pretend you're stupid
Sort it out
Go make yourself useful

[Verse 2]
You're better than dead, you really made a mess with the words you said
So easily fed, the flames of the fire rise above your head
They want to be led, you've joined the ranks instead
There's a voice in your head

[Pre-Chorus]
Figure it out
Don't pretend you're stupid
Sort it out
Go make yourself useful

[Chorus]
I can't figure it out any more than the generation before me
I can't figure it out how we got where we are today
I can't figure it out any more than the generation before me
I can't figure it out, we gotta fight not to fade away
[Verse 1]
We're ready to go, ticking like a bomb that's about to blow
It's taking control, pulling at your feet like an undertow
You don't really know if you're all that capable
But you've been told

[Pre-Chorus]
To figure it out
Don't pretend you're stupid
Sort it out
Go make yourself useful

[Chorus]
I can't figure it out any more than the generation before me
I can't figure it out how we got where we are today
I can't figure it out any more than the generation before me
I can't figure it out, we gotta fight not to fade away

[Chorus]
I can't figure it out any more than the generation before me
I can't figure it out how we got where we are today
I can't figure it out any more than the generation before me
I can't figure it out, we gotta fight not to fade away
