Someone asked me if I've found God
Yes, I think we've met a couple times
But I'm not sure if it was him
'Cause I can't look him in the eye
And all I heard were warnings
From my conscience in the guilty night
That said "I'll see you on the day you die"
I'll see you on the day you die
I'll see you on the day you die
No, I've never been to heaven
But they say my head is in the clouds
'Cause I just sit here by myself
And hope I stand out in the crowd
I tried to make my father proud
Found out that I don't know how
Tomorrow there is only here and now
Yes, there's only here and now
Yes, there's only here and now
And I hate to say it
But I've heard it all before
There's a war outside my window
Revolution at my door
Keep your corporate counter-culture
That I'm trying to ignore
Because I don't believe in nothing anymore
All these teachers preaching right from wrong
Can't help the weak against the strong
Or save you from an end that comes
For you and I and everyone
So I'll just write another song
For all the world to sing along
'Cause after all some day we'll all be gone
Yeah, some day we'll all be gone
Yeah, some day we'll all be gone
Now I've washed my hands of everything
The fairy tales and fantasy
Apparently reality has finally got the best of me
And all those drugs I did in vain
They eased the pain and numbed my brain
But life is just a high you can't sustain
Life's a high you can't sustain
Life's a high you can't sustain
And I hate to say it
But I've heard it all before
There's a devil in the details
And salvation with the Lord
No, I'm not one for compliance
And defiance left me bored
I guess I don't believe in nothing anymore
Now I've seen the writing on the wall
The darkness in the crystal ball
A house of cards about to fall
And a peace of mind I can't recall
But man, the worst thing that I saw
Was clearly the reflection of...
A boy who said "I think I've seen it all"
Yeah, I think I've seen it all
Yeah, I think I've seen it all
And I hate to say it
But I've heard it all before
After all these years, those chandeliers
Have crashed upon the floor
And there ain't no way of knowing
What the future has in store
So I don't believe in nothing
No, I don't believe in nothing
No, I don't believe in nothing anymore
