Learn to lose, its easier that way
Weve paid our dues, but we cant make life pay
All across the world, people going mad
In their mothers cars, the kids are feeling sad
Thats how it is, and Ill see you later
Everything old is new again
Everything under the sun
Now that Im back with you again
We hug and we kiss
We sit and make lists
We drink and I bandage your wrists
Wasted youth -- there wasnt much to waste
Down to the bone, and still losing weight
With all the wishing in the world glistening in her eyes
But when I say I love her, she thinks Im telling lies
Is it all lost? no, we never had it
Everything old is new again
Everything under the sun
All of our fears come true again
Recycle reuse
Resent and refuse
Our parents ideals and view
She thinks the afterlife might just be where the action is
With high schools built like prisons, she cant find a way to live
Moved back home to fill the empty nest
Afraid to roam, in love with second best
While somewhere in the world, shes hosting her own show
And everyone she questions never seems to know
Who they are and where they are going
Everything old is new again
Everything under the sun
Now that Im without you again
I wake up and eat
I go back to sleep
And let my nightmares repeat
All across the world, people going mad
