The Upwards War and Down Turned Cycle Lyrics

    All my friends always talk about
    The stories of moving on and getting out
    Then packing up and heading south
    Their heads full of hopes and dreams
    They’re just like me

    My friends aren’t going anywhere
    My friends all act so unaware
    Now that they have to face
    Their best plans have all gone up in flames

    They’re just looking for something to take
    To break up the day to day and all its
    Loneliness, vacant space
    The tragedy of minimum wage

    All my friends always talk about
    The stories of moving on and getting out
    Then packing up and heading south
    Their heads full of hopes and dreams
    They’re just like me

    My friends are worried about last calls
    And working jobs at shopping malls
    Because they’re in between
    A mixed up pride and apathy
    So tonight they’ll talk of call in
    Calling in with bitter grins
    Laughing at the state they’re in
    What a mess, I’m just like them

    All my friends always talk about
    The stories of moving on and getting out
    Then packing up and heading south
    Their heads full of hopes and dreams
    They’re just like me

    So they’re sleep walking their way through life
    Sitting there and getting by
    Like all the other friends of mine
    Wishing for something more
    Wishing for something more

    All my friends always talk about
    The stories of moving on and getting out
    Then packing up and heading south
    Their heads full of hopes and dreams
    They’re just like me
