Where You Come From Songtext

Where You Come From Songtext
It′s not where you come from, it's more where you′re going
And knowing the going might get strange
The world's greatest writers are all drunks and fighters
Get going, that isn't gonna change
Will you still wager on the egg? Is it the egg or are you chicken?
There′s an outside possibility, your life might start to kick in
Your heart will start to race. Will you chase or set the pace?
Brace yourself, the plot′s about to thicken
It's not where you come from, it′s more where you're going
And knowing the going might get strange
The world′s greatest writers are all drunks and fighters
Get going, that isn't gonna change
It′s been a thousand years or two and still the seconds keep on clicking
Clogging cogs and greasing gears, still you can't stop the clock from ticking
It's time that′s overrated and being great′s become outdated
The apples, oranges? Not worth picking
It's not where you come from, it′s more where you're going
And knowing the going might get strange
The world′s greatest writers are all drunks and fighters
Get going, that isn't gonna change
Where is it we′re going? Who was it who said it?
Which stones are worth throwing? Who will we discredit?
A pathetic aesthetic in a world less poetic
It's not where you come from
It's going, go get it
It′s not where you come from, it′s more where you're going
And knowing the going might get strange
The world′s greatest writers are all drunks and fighters
Get going, that isn't gonna change
It′s not where you come from, it's more where you′re going
And knowing the going might get strange
The world's greatest writers are all drunks and fighters
Get going, that isn't gonna change
Go
Where is it we′re going? Who was it who said it? (It′s not where you come from)
Which stones are worth throwing? Who will we discredit? (It's not where you come from)
A pathetic aesthetic in a world less poetic (It′s not where you come from)
It's not where you come from, it′s going, go get it
It's going, go get it
It′s going, go get it
It's going, go get it
And knowing the going might get strange
The world's greatest writers are all drunks and fighters
Get going, that isn't gonna change
Will you still wager on the egg? Is it the egg or are you chicken?
There′s an outside possibility, your life might start to kick in
Your heart will start to race. Will you chase or set the pace?
Brace yourself, the plot′s about to thicken
It's not where you come from, it′s more where you're going
And knowing the going might get strange
The world′s greatest writers are all drunks and fighters
Get going, that isn't gonna change
It′s been a thousand years or two and still the seconds keep on clicking
Clogging cogs and greasing gears, still you can't stop the clock from ticking
It's time that′s overrated and being great′s become outdated
The apples, oranges? Not worth picking
It's not where you come from, it′s more where you're going
And knowing the going might get strange
The world′s greatest writers are all drunks and fighters
Get going, that isn't gonna change
Where is it we′re going? Who was it who said it?
Which stones are worth throwing? Who will we discredit?
A pathetic aesthetic in a world less poetic
It's not where you come from
It's going, go get it
It′s not where you come from, it′s more where you're going
And knowing the going might get strange
The world′s greatest writers are all drunks and fighters
Get going, that isn't gonna change
It′s not where you come from, it's more where you′re going
And knowing the going might get strange
The world's greatest writers are all drunks and fighters
Get going, that isn't gonna change
Go
Where is it we′re going? Who was it who said it? (It′s not where you come from)
Which stones are worth throwing? Who will we discredit? (It's not where you come from)
A pathetic aesthetic in a world less poetic (It′s not where you come from)
It's not where you come from, it′s going, go get it
It's going, go get it
It′s going, go get it
It's going, go get it
