Tempers flare here everywhere because of nothing I can see
The teller stamps the cancelled cheque and I sink to mediocrity again

Hey, whatta you say? Why don't we give up and go away?
Hey, hey, hey, whatta you say? Why don't we give up and go away?

Fluorescent tubes bleach out this room and sunshine never gets in here
The fear that lay down on my dream has left into the atmosphere

So, hey, whatta you say? Why don't we give up and go away?
Hey, hey, hey, whatta you say? Why don't we give up and go away?

I can only fool myself for so long, let's go while the stove is on
Let's go while there's work to do, let's go just because we want to
I can only fool myself for so long, let's go while the stove is on
Let's go while there's work to do, let's go while everybody thinks we're wrong

So, hey, whatta you say? Why don't we give up and go away?
Hey, hey, hey, whatta you say? Why don't we give up and go away?
