lyrics

Someone said true love was dead
A world that's turned to disaster instead
My father told me all my life
But I never thought I'd fall through the ice
Where steeple walls have been tumbling down
Onto city streets that burned to the ground
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Some burnout kid in some American town

So many people tell me
It's not worth dying for
We tread these tragic oceans
It's not cause we wanna
It's not cause we wanna
It's not cause we wanna drown
And be afraid

To be some burnout kid in some American town

I never learned to sympathize
When dead men spoke, I couldn't look in their eyes
So now I'm trapped in suburban lies
With the dried up blood of American pride

I'm sorry father
I swore we'd try
But it was an empty promise cause we
Don't know how to live or die
It's not because we wanna
It's not because we wanna
It's not because we wanna
It's not because we didn't try

Someone said true love was dead
A world that's turned to disaster instead
So now I'm lost never to be found
Some burnout kid in some American town
