In June we had a little car, that drove us around the bend as we drove around the bends of the little streets where we lived and if we drove it too fast, the little car would start to moan, rattle us from head to toe, shake us from head to toe so we drove on the motorway as fast as the law would take us and the little car she rattled the little car she shaked in return and when the summer comes we'll see how far life takes us with no jobs to make us hide in this big city where people are counting down the years till their pension living their lives all wrapped up in this tension and I'll write a song just for you, to show how I adore you and I'm somehow still hoping that all of these roads remain green and when we drove on the motorway everyone would overtake us even though it felt like we were doing 110 so we drove on the motorway as fast as the law would take us and the little car she rattled the little car she shaked in return

all the people waiting for, their chance to be known the voices that are never heard, may have the most to give, while the ones who make the loudest noise, always have the least to say. the most harm, is done by the words that are never said, too scared to change the world ourselves, too scared to make the difference, while the ones who make the loudest noise, always have the least to say. no one knows what's going on, no one knows we're here, no one hears what's going on no one knows we're here, but our lives could be changed our lives could be changed our lives should be changed our lives, could be changed.

You say that you’re not good enough, for good things to happen to you, but I say there could never be, enough good things happen to you. You say there will never be time, for people to notice you’re here, why care if we run out of time? Let it all go away... You day will come when it is your day, and not a moment before. and time will know if you chase her down, your time will hear if you chase her down, your time will hide if you chase her down, your time will go if you chase her down. So let it all, go away...

I know it’s not there, but you do not believe me, you say that I’m lying, that I’m trying to deceive you, but I know, I know that it’s not there. I know it’s not there for I wouldn’t deceive you, but you say that I’m mad like the man in the corner, who’s fumbling for change to pay for his order, and they think it’s not there, they just think it’s not there, so they do not believe him. What would you like him to do? What would you like him to do? Do you know, what you’d like him to do? What would you like him to say? what would you like him to say? do you know, do you know what you‘d like him to say?
