Status Quo Lyrics by Joey Richter

The SPACE Tour

2012

[JOE]
It starts with not questioning the answers
And giving up before you've begun
[DYLAN]
It locks all the doors, increases the pressure
And in a flash
Your time is up before it's done
[BRIAN]
And you won't know
How it can feel
To feel at all
[JOEY]
So I say
"No"
To status quo
Who wants to be like the rest
And deny the best that I'm meant for?
I will show
The status quo
 
[JOE, DYLAN & BRIAN]
"No"
...quo
Ooh...
Ooh...
...show
...quo
[ALL]
Who cares about normal?
I'll never conform
I will be content to resent the status quo
[JOE]
I kick down the walls around me
[ALL]
They don't know how strong I am
[DYLAN & BRIAN]
I'm not defined by boundaries
They could never understand
[JOEY]
I'm so much -
[ALL]
More
Than status quo
[JOEY]
Forget about being
Another pipe dreamer
Stuck on the bottom floor
[ALL]
And I know
[JOEY]
It's time to -
[ALL]
Go
So maybe I've gotten everything
That I wanted but I think that
I might have made it so
When I said "No, no, no"
To status quo...
[JOEY, spoken]
Thank you, New York City...
[ALL]
I am a Starship Ranger
I'm gonna do everything I can
To always be a Starship Ranger
It's everything
It's everything
I am!
[Segue]
[DYLAN, spoken]
Thank you!
[JOE, spoken]
Thank you, everybody!
