Coming Around Like the Karate Kid Songtext
von Drew Danburry

I was just calling now
To see how you were doing
You know I haven′t called to talk
For a few weeks
I took a walk last night
Because my mind was brewing
Over the mess we made
When we both couldn't see

There′s no need to hear advice
Optimistic illusions just like the screen
We place in front of our eyes
Just like your idealism clouds reality


Avert your wary eyes
It's 1984 without coercion
Subtle subversion to the puritanical
We're unified unable to redefine our world
We make what′s bearable
Seem quite far from bearable

Mariner overboard
We can′t bear to steer ashore
The portly porter's parlantry
Did poorly at the fair
Ignored him when he called to me
I′m wary of his worthless wares
And besides
How could I hear him when I wasn't there?

I cannot help but feel
This situation
Puts me in a place
I cannot win
With either choice I make
I′m sacrificing nations
No matter what you'll be convinced
You′re the victim
