Outdone (1989 Demo) Lyrics by Uncle Tupelo

89/93: An Anthology

2002

Everything's fine for now, no one’s really laughing
Everything's just all right, or is it now?
Turn up to the round, but keep moving on
We can cut the cord now, just drag it along
Now there's too many people trying too hard
Not to be outdone
They follow close behind their proud smoking gun
It’s up to you and me whether to pay them any mind
Some people turn to tomorrow, and some, a bottle of wine
Remember back when there could be no wrong?
It's different for everyone until it's gone
Now there's too many people trying too hard
Not to be outdone
They follow close behind their proud smoking gun
Things are breaking down
Not being patched up
Think it over again
Dreams come and go, but one thing remains
In the back of your mind, it won't go away
Saying, "Take a look around and tell me everything's just fine
From what I can see now, we'd be fools or lying"
Now there's too many people trying too hard
Not to be outdone
They follow close behind their proud smoking gun
They say take the leap from the common heap
First looking around past the college grounds
Were people aware about more than themselves, they’d care
