lyrics

Academy

It haunts my dreams, it gives me gasoline breath
Its dangerous to smoke cigarettes, been hopeless since the day I was born
So what’s today and what’s this place we stay, so far back in the race
We can’t catch up, and I don’t think we ever will now
And I won’t let the situation bring me down
Cause if its right then that’s all I can ask for
And its below me not my worry, gonna let it drown
Cause if its right then that’s all I could ask for, and no more
I think I know what our problem is, we move too slow and its dangerous
Not to take, steal chances, breathe life into me
Just let the sun shine on my face, wind at my back always Just let me taste such happiness
So I can prove to myself that its real
Got a problem, want a problem, want to take on the world
Want to be part of the academy
Want to be someone, but don’t know who to be
Want to be part of the academy, want to be someone not knowing who to be
