Alternate Learning - Beach State Rocking Lyrics
In Caffeineland all jobs get doneWe live by the gunAnd life is just a plan for oneIn textbook terms and rules of thumbI walk outside but I freeze in the sunHaving deferred to the longer runI give up my right to be youngMy blood flows as the joyride comesAnd my heart says to grab onBut my fingers are numbBeach state rockingEverybody's talkingBut it's all been toldIt's never oldBeach state rockingChristmas without stockingsIt's the formal codeIt's all you ownIt takes the children from their homesCathy-Ann and all her friendsAre downstairs againAnd high school memories fill my headA time to treasure, so I've readBut summer is deadAnd pleasure means nothing, so they saidAnd so I had some pain insteadI turned my face when tears were shedAnd nobody knew that I followedEach cheer she ledI felt dizzy as I walked the beachAnd the sunbathers gave no soundBut the radios all told meWhat was not lost can't be foundWell I'd call myself an artist if I couldMake these feelings clearBut there's a million things to think aboutWhen you're cutting off your earBeach state rockingEverybody's talkingBut it's all been toldIt's never oldBeach state rockingChristmas without stockingsIt's the formal codeIt's all you ownIt takes the children from their homesBeach state rockingEverybody's talkingBut it's all been toldIt's never oldBeach state rockingChristmas without stockingsIt's the formal codeIt's all you ownIt takes the children from their homes
