I Sing Last / Not for Tears

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
