"I do, I do..., doesn't mean you should"
It is about the inner battle to be unique and original, to
always want to separate ourselves from others. We say
we are allergic to small and superficial talk, but all walk in
someone else's footsteps when it comes down to it.
lyrics
THE DRAIN
All that I've got
down the drain like it's supposed to
never see daylight
we don't dance like we used to
we just throw ourselves around
kneeling to a rhythm
that's already faded out
I do, I do
doesn't mean you should
We're wasting our time
in an era of forgiveness
And we read between lines
but all forget what's in them
You don't even know my name
but you great me every morning
Do you think that that's ok?
I do, I do
doesn't mean you should
All that I've got
down the drain like it's supposed to
I do, I do
doesn't mean you should
doesn't mean you should
