Hey man, I'm making moves
And I am so much stronger than you
I am so much stronger
I am so much stronger than you
ย
Everybody thinks the way that we thought
We thought ahead and look what we got
ย
Well, I did not invent this world
Call my words a string of pearls, but
You will find the sheen soon loses luster
Meanwhile, the world would try to mend (the universe is shrinking as it could)
The future looked like the 40s'
And we were ready
We were ready, ready, we were
ย
This isn't the way I dreamed it would be someday
(This is what I settled for)
If I had the chance (these are the things)
I'd come to find a way (I'd never dreamed or seen)
This is what I settled for
I had some fine dreams I traded them away
The future looked like the 40s'
And we were ready
We were ready, ready, ready, oh we were
ย
Hey man I'm making moves
And I am so much stronger than you
Everybody thinks the way that we thought (I am so much stronger)
We thought ahead and look what we got (I am so much stronger than you)
I did not invent this world and (everybody thinks the way that we thought)
Call my words a string of pearls (we thought ahead and look what we got)
I did not invent this world
Call my words a string of pearls
But you will find the sheen loses all its luster
ย
(We where ready) Stream of the talk, fire the top away (ready)
(We where) Says in a book on my dusty shelf
"History Repeats Itself"
Stream of the talk, and fire the top away
