lyrics

we wrote the rules of currency
the rest learned their lessons fluently
we spent it all and had plenty
we are takin’ over
fools arrive younger and bolder
thinking us wise ‘cos we are older
we will school them like a soldier
we are takin’ over
sharp thoughts dance
mind if i cut in
on your own
all of a sudden
priceless art
sold for a bar again
mine, you stole
without hesitation

darlin’, we all have our moments
think of the time that we’ll spend
proving that all else is pretend
we are taken over

every day a miracle
though, even to say it means fuck all
frankly, the thing makes me chuckle
we are taken over

sharp thoughts dance
mind if i cut in
on your own
all of a sudden
priceless art
sold for a bar again
time, you thought
could spare a second chance
