Lyrics for Outdone

Everything's fine for now, no one's really laughin' Everything's just all right, or is it now Turn up to the round, but keep movin' on We can cut the cord now, just draggin' along Now there's too many people tryin' too hard Not to be outdone They follow close behind their proud Smokin' gun Some people mean whether to pay them any mind Some people turn to tomorrow and some a bottle of wine Remember back when there could be no wrong Well It's different for everyone, until it's gone Now there's too many people tryin' too hard Not to be outdone They follow close behind their proud Smokin' gun Things are breakin' down Not deal that stuff Think it over again Dreams come and go bu' one thing remains In the back of your mind, it won't go away Saying, "Take a look around and tell me everything's just fine From what I can see now, we'd be fools or lyin'" Now there's too many people tryin' too hard Not to be outdone They follow close behind their proud Smokin' gun They say take a leave from the common view First look around past the college grounds Where people aware of more than themselves, they'd care
