One Last Broadcast

Well sometimes everything seems alright
And sometimes everything seems fine
But sometimes something’s gotta ruin everything
And it happens every time
And I’m starting to realize that I’m losing hope
That one more wish on a penny might just make me go broke
I’m at the end of the rope and I can’t afford
And this had better work ’cause it’s our last resort
chorus:
And so we’re sending out the Mayday
’cause I don’t think we’re gonna make it
(Houston we are going down)
Houston we are going down in flames
One last broadcast! on the CB radio
And I sure as hell hope someone is listening
And we can sit and cry and whine
Or we can act like everything is fine
It’s either pity sympathy or everyone decides
To just go on with their own lives
So it’s up to me, it’s up to us
And when we fall down we get right back up
And if I complain about some scuffed knees
Just brush me off and tell me to shut up
[chorus]
chorus:
And so we’re sending out the Mayday
’cause I don’t think we’re gonna make it
(Houston we are going down)
Houston we are going down in flames
One last broadcast! on the CB radio
And sure as hell hope someone is sending out the Mayday
’cause I don’t think we’re gonna make it
(Houston we are going down)
Houston we are going down in flames
One last broadcast! on the CB radio
And I sure as hell hope someone is listening

Why does everything I do just always turn out so depressing?
I can’t stand to fail at this again
It doesn’t matter if I try
If I try with all my heart
Everything will still always just fall apart
And if I just set my mind to
Making a difference
Maybe one day I’ll discover
How ignorant I’ve been in all of this
So if you’re gonna start a fight (so if you’re gonna start a fight) x3
So if you’re gonna start a fight
Well then let’s get it started
It’s
So bad
I forgot you try
And I forgot that you thought
That you were good
Forgot that you still had some pride
I know
There’s always someone better
So it’s second place
IT’S ALWAYS NEXT TIME
I hear
They say
That silver is the new gold
And plan B was always pretty much plan A
So I might as well give up right now
And hope I’m saved by grace
Quiet, don’t move
You’ve set the stage and everything is right where
You want it to be, start the tape turn off the lights
But wait, cameras are out of focus, lights are out of place
THE MICROPHONES AREN’T LIVE
And here lies a pitiful existence
Of my work in the business
Of making something that’s not horrible
And you can just forget persistence
Because I’m gonna distance
Myself from all of this and blame it on a
Headache can’t think straight
I’ve hit a wall and I’ll be here
All night stuck awake
Maybe this idea was a mistake
’Cause my coffee has gotten cold
And all-nighters are overrated
In a few minutes I’ll be sedated
And I’ll forget about all of this
And maybe one day I’ll accept
Everything I’ve got coming to me
A bitter manifestation
And when I see what I have done
And when I’ve come to despise it all
I won’t shake I won’t break I won’t fall
So if you’re ever coming back (so if you’re ever coming back) (x3)
So if you’re ever coming back
Well then I’ll take you on

So you fight and you fight, you fight each day to save face, you fight to keep your place, you fight to keep from being replaced
Why don’t you fight to have some peace
Instead you try to stay guilt-free
So you try, no reply, and there’s no victory
We’ll never make it out alive and this whole place will be history
I’ve got to take this patiently
And I’ve got to do this carefully
bridge:
And in the end
You got nothin’
Name or recognition
And you can ask yourself
Just what it is you hoped that you would be getting
chorus:
We’ll take our time this time
We’ll take our time (it’s make or break this time, okay)
We’ll take our time this time
Don’t mess this up, please can’t mess this up
So catch up, hurry up
And deal with what is at hand ’cause you’ve been slacking
And I don’t think that you quite understand
And in that time you realize
We might not get through this alive
This is it, don’t forget, the character that you picked
The names you drop, the friends you’ve got, and how everything that you’re not
Was supposed to get you so far
And make you become a big star
[bridge]/[chorus]
[chorus]
Or else it’s 5-4-3-2-1 the bomb goes off, that’s affirmative, yeah we’re all fucked
And with your last few seconds of life, you watch the world turn off the lights
This wasn’t how it should have gone down, you think to yourself as you look around
And through one good eye you watch the dust, cover everyone you thought was safe to trust

You try to make things different
But everything is the same
We can’t just sit here discontent
We’ve gotta make a change
Gotta make a change
And it’s gotta start right now
So step back and take a side
’Cause right now you’re avoiding conflict
Indecision’s your right hand man
Everyone’s got their own revelation for revolution
But there’s just one problem: there’s no plan of action
chorus:
You try to make things different (you try to make things different)
But everything is the same
Everything is the same
We can’t just sit here discontent (can’t just sit here)
We’ve gotta make a change
Gotta make a change
And it’s gotta start right now
[chorus]

So, you think you finally won
You think you finally made it back
Made it back to where it’s all good and fun
You say you wanna be free
You say you wanna just be yourself
Well I’m glad I’m not in your shoes now
Because I finally found
The secret that I need
To get up, to go on
Maybe you’ll actually see
You haven’t got what it takes
And you just can’t see that
Any time, you fall down
You don’t have the strength to go
Right back to where you went wrong
chorus:
And this is goodbye ’cause no one likes you
All the love was a lie, your breakup is way overdue
We’re all driving this into the ground now
It’s best for us to just move on
And now, this doesn’t make any sense
I don’t really get how
Anyone, in their right mind
Could possibly blame me now
Alright let’s say that you're right, we can hypothesize
But in the end we both know that it will never work out
Maybe it’s time to move on, maybe it’s like we said
Me and you, you and me
Have got to do some readjusting
I think it’s time we don’t think
I think it’s time we take a second to breathe
And in the end we all find ourselves
Right back where we don’t belong
[chorus]
And we thought we could
Make a killing
Off the ideas that we were selling
And all my girlfriends hate our ska band
’Cause it’s only cool to be in hardcore bands
