The grass is greener on the other side That's what I thought before I took the ride I burned my bridges, so I never look back But if I had known The life I was searching for is looking me right in the eye, oh If I had known the life I was searching for was already my own Ire bènilê (Ire, ayo) Ire, ire, ire Ire, ire, ayo Onpemi (Onpemi kin ma bo) Oni kin ma bo (Ire) Oni ki ma bo Ire Ire, ire, ire (Ire) Ire, ire, ayo Onpemi (Ire, ayo) Oni kin ma bo (Oni kin ma bo) Oni ki ma bo (Oni kin ma bo) Ire The grass is greener when you water the ground That's what I found when I took the ride I realized the mountain I've climbing is nothing but sand, oh I didn't know I already had the answer No, I didn't know For if I had known (If I had known) The life I was searching for was looking me right in the eye, oh If I had known the life I was searching for was already my own Ire, ire, ire (Ire) Ire, ire, ayo Onpemi (Onpemi) Oni kin ma bo (Oni kin ma bo) Oni ki ma bo (Oni kin ma bo) Ire Ire, ire, ire (Ire) Ire, ire, ayo Onpemi (It's calling out to me, dekunle, it's calling out to me) Oni kin ma bo (Oni kin ma bo) Oni ki ma bor Ire Ire, ire, ire, ayo Onpemi kin ma bo (Ire) Edami shatokun fun ese mi Jen pada sile Majen sin won waye Majen rin arin ra Alantere, oh Ire she gudu meje Oro shepete Oro shepete Ire fi le poti o fi ona roka (Kin ma bo) Kin ma bo (Ire) Ire, ire, ire Ire, ire, ayo Onpemi Oni kin ma bo Oni ki ma bo Ire Ire, ire, ire Ire, ire, ayo Oni ki ma bo Oni kin ma bo Ire

Well a teacher of mine once told me That life was just a list of disappointments and defeats And you could only do your best And I said: "Well that's a fucking cop out You're just washed up and you're tired And when I get to your age, well I won't be such a coward" But these days I sit at home I'm known to shout at my TV And punk rock didn't live up to what I'd hoped that it could be And all the things that I believed with all my heart when I was young Are just coasters for beers and clean surfaces for drugs And I've packed all my pamphlets with my bibles at the back of the shelf. Well it was bad enough, the feeling The first time it hit When you realized your parents had let the world all go to shit And that the values and ideals for which many have fought and died Had been killed off in the committees And left to die by the way-side But it was worse when we turned to the kids on the left And got let down again by some poor excuse of protest Yeah, by idiot fucking hippies in fifty different factions Who are locked inside some kind of sixties battle re-enactment And I hung up my banner in disgust when I head for the door. Oh but once, we were young and we were crass enough to care But I guess you live and learn We won't make that mistake again, no Oh, but surely, just for one day, yeah, we could fight and we could win And if only for a little while We could insist on the impossible. Well we've been a good few hours drinking So I'm going to say what everyone's thinking If we're stuck on this ship and it's sinking Then we might as well have a parade So if it's still going to hurt in the morning And a better plan's yet to get forming Then where's the harm spending an evening In manning the old barricades? So come on old friends, to the streets Let's be 1905 but not 1917 Let's be heroes, let's be martyrs Let's be radical thinkers Who never have to test drive the least of their dreams Let's divide up the world into the damned and the saved And then ride to the valley like the old Light Brigade And straighten our backs, and we won't be afraid And they'll celebrate our deaths with a national parade. So come on Let's be young, let's be crass enough to care Let's refuse to live and learn Let's make all our mistakes again, yes And then darling, just for one day, yeah We can fight and we can win And if only for a little while We could insist on the impossible Leave the morning to the morning Yeah, pain can be killed With aspirin tablets and vitamin pills But memories of hope and of glorious defeat Are a little bit harder to beat.
