We were good kids, and now we’re shitty adults We never got in any trouble so we never learned what trouble was And when it came to call we let it right in We were generous hosts Oh what a good fit: Kind intent, ill result When they sifted through the rubble our blood was underneath its claws Yeah it tore us apart but we survived it Now we’re turnpike ghosts And it all makes sense When you play it back from where it ends We were always meant to be here Great shot, kid! You blew it again Prove your rivals right, disappoint your friends Cuz you never want it badly enough (Never want it badly enough) No you never want it badly enough Great shot, kid! A swing and a miss Travel back in time, meet your own damn fist Cuz you never want it badly enough (Never want it badly enough) Started out with too much, you were never gonna give it up We were rich kids And we were stupid as hell We were willfully indifferent, blind to the sins of wealth Yeah we were cozy and numb and we fit right in Until we left home I can’t escape it No I know it too well That dull suburban sickness, the craving for a comfortable couch Oh snap me out of the spell Let me out! Let me out! Let me out! One day they’re gonna ask us where it went Why are we still here when our time’s been spent? We were always slaves to our fear Great shot, kid! You blew it again Prove your rivals right, disappoint your friends Cuz you never want it badly enough (Never want it badly enough) No you never want it badly enough Great shot, kid! A swing and a miss Travel back in time, meet your own damn fist Cuz you never want it badly enough (Never want it badly enough) Started out with too much, you were never gonna give it up (Lucky thing nobody ever gets what they deserve) (Lucky thing nobody ever gets what they deserve) (Lucky thing nobody ever gets what they deserve) (Lucky thing nobody ever gets what they deserve) Well I can’t unlearn the things I’ve learned But now I know it’s a lucky thing Nobody gets what they deserve You never want it badly enough (You never want it badly enough) No you never want it badly enough Great shot, kid! You know what you did? Took a fighting chance for your soul to live Cuz you never want it badly enough (You never want it badly enough) Started out with too much, you were never gonna give it up
