The people in papers
Look more and more like
faces of the kids
I went to school with
The ones who weren't me

The ones who grew up
While we just got older
Our best foot forward
Was a single step

One day I'll be taunted
By younger hauntings
To pinpoint why they are
Still nowhere

'Cause we opened the world
Now we don't want to lift a finger
Or go any further
Towards the sun

We opened the world
Now we don't want to lift a finger
Or be caught off guard

Only now are we looking forward
 [bad word] by old blood and bone

Educated, equipped to fail
Prepared for nothing
less than it all

We opened the world,
Now we don't want to lift a finger
Or go any further
Towards the sun

We opened the world
Now we don't want to lift a finger
So catch up with the light
Or be caught off guard

Please stop saying
We're at the bottom of the hill
Still waiting for the climb

You're facing backwards
just turn around
We're now pioneering
Overgrown ground

We opened the world,
Now we don't want to lift a finger
Or go any further
Towards the sun

We opened the world
Now we don't want to lift a finger
So catch up with the light
Or be caught off guard
