I Sing Last / Not for Tears Songtext
von Men Without Hats

We′ve been told lies. We've been herded around
Taken for rides, told that this is the one
We′ve learned all the steps and where do they lead
Right back to zero or not far I believe

Making history as we open our eyes
And no one's quite sure so we... We improvise
And wherever it leads us is wherever we'll go
I′d dance forever if they′d let me, you know


Wearing our hair up in anger we cry
The revolutions dead it went out in style
The children are learning much faster than we
Soon they'll be older but then again, so will we

Time has come for each of us to decide
To follow blindly or to step out of line
The party is over it has been for years
Let′s use the water to wash up, not for tears

Seems such a pity
It seemed we had the same dream
And thinking of things past
You sang first I sang last
You sang first I sang last
You sang first I sang last
