Here We Go Again (The Place 1-8-88) Songtext
von Operation Ivy

It′s not the ending
It is the beginning
The ground is moist and it rained last night
Smells like smoke and it smells so clean
The sun shines down like a freindly white light
Here we go again
Analyzed the world I was born into
But I could never understand
Knew I never wanted to grow up if that meant to be a "man"
Dominating strict competition is the meaning of our lives
Stomping on the weak keeps us the winner of the battle in our minds

Tensions in our lives that are destroying our minds
Unite themselves together to make our consciences blind
Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away
If that's what they call normal then I′d rather be insane
Relax yourself from giving up what you want to do with your life


Ease up from giving up things like control of your own mind
If you're never gonna ask any question
Then you're never gonna get no answer
Always be wondering what do you want

While you keep getting older faster
Tensions in our lives that are destroying our minds
Unite themselves together to make our consciences blind
Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away
If that′s what they call normal then I′d rather be insane
(Insane, insane)

Tensions in our lives that are destroying our minds
Unite themselves together to make our consciences blind
Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away
If that's what they call normal then I′d rather be insane

Relax yourself from giving up what you want to do with your life

Ease up from giving up things like control of your own mind
If you're never gonna ask any question
Then you′re never gonna get no answer
Always be wondering what do you want


While you keep getting older faster
Conditioned (here we go again) to self-interest with emotions locked away
If that's what they call normal I′d rather be insane
(here we go again)
Another test of manhood just when you thought you'd won
(here we go again)
The more we keep competing
(here we go again)
The more the battle has just begun
