Sideways Lyrics by Example

We May Grow Old But We Never Grow Up

2022

[VERSE]
All your wildest dreams will never come true
You're only gonna be what people say
When you find that place that you can run to
You're happy even standing in the rain
Even when they cut us from the sunlight
I won't be the one to lose my face
When you find a place that you can run to
You can love the fall from grace

[PRE-Chorus]
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know what I want
I don't, I don't need no one to tell me when to stop
Ayy

[Chorus]
They say come out and play
Run us to the limit 'til it's all gone sideways
They take everything away
Look at how we're living in this mad world these days
I don't like the system now we need to run away
Brothers or my sisters, yeah, they're leading us astray
They say come out and play
Run us to the limit 'til it's all gone sideways

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[VERSE]
All the while you're sleeping with the wrong crew
Ticking boxes in the database
Lying through your teeth and never one truth
Never leave a goddamn trace

[PRE-Chorus]
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know what I want
I don't, I don't need no one to tell me when to stop
Ayy

[Chorus]
They say come out and play
Run us to the limit 'til it's all gone sideways
They take everything away
Look at how we're living in this mad world these days
I don't like the system now we need to run away
Brothers or my sisters, yeah, they're leading us astray
They say come out and play
Run us to the limit 'til it's all gone sideways

[BRIDGE]
I for one, and one lasting reason, tell my kids the stakes
Break the rules and go smash some records
Make 'em learn your name (don't tell 'em)
Even when they say you can't, you know you're Genghis Khan
Break some hearts, respect the love and be big in Japan
Fuck the beef, slow cook the brisket (ayy)
Take some risk, embrace the misfit (ayy)
Rock and roll, don't limp or be scared (woo!)
Look, go and change the way you kissed it
Even if the leader of your generation messed up (hey Mr.!)
Run the world, down your drink, smile a bit, then rest up

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[Chorus]
They say come out and play
Run us to the limit 'til it's all gone sideways
They take everything away
Look at how we're living in this mad world these days
I don't like the system now we need to run away
Brothers or my sisters, yeah, they're leading us astray
They say come out and play
Run us to the limit 'til it's all gone sideways

[OUTRO]
It's all gone sideways
