lyrics

Well, it's already gone
You're the one
You should've been on
But it's already there
Get these notions outta your head

Well, it's already gone
The one, you should ah been on

Yeah, it's already gone
The one, you should ah been on

But it's already there
Get these notions outta your head

And there's a mansion on that mountain
No one I know lives there
The walk's too far and the gate's too high
And awe, who in the hell really cares?
Yeah, but who in the hell really cares?

But there's a banquet at that bottom
Where everyone gets fed
And the only ones who get left behind
Are the ones too tired to get out of their bed
Awe, but please won't you get out of your bed?!

And there's a mansion on that mountain
No one I know lives there
The walk's too far and the gate's too high
And awe, who in the hell really cares?!
Awe, but who in the hell really cares?!
