Not By a Long Shot Lyrics by Paulson

All at Once

2005

[Verse 1]
Get a pen, make a list
Of your crimes and then hand it over
Who says you can't switch sides?
It's that simple
And you can't make mistakes
But as men we are able to folly
You say that's just fine
That makes no sense
[Chorus]
They'll throw that book at us
And they're aiming for our young
But they'll miss by a long shot
Yeah not by a long shot
Will we join them?
They'll throw that book at us
And they're aiming for our young
But they'll miss by a long shot
Yeah not by a long shot
Will we join them?
[Verse 2]
Cause you're old and you're scared
It's the luxury of youth that allows us
To see a different side
Do you remember?
A sudden surge of the tide
Saw it wash away life I say that we can prevent this
You say it's a sign
Aren't you lucky?
[Chorus]
They'll throw that book at us
And they're aiming for our young
But they'll miss by a long shot
Yeah not by a long shot
Will we join them?
They'll throw that book at us
And they're aiming for our young
But they'll miss by a long shot
Yeah not by a long shot
Will we join them?
