We gotta hurry on home to the Ol’ Ball and Chain

We’re our fathers at last to everyone’s shame

We drink it down without a breath and we don’t bat an eye

When they say our heart of stone youth was really a lie

We bought that new age delivery and those high powered claims

You live above your station you gotta lower your aim

To just bread on the table and food in your mouth

And before you know it your ambition heads south

But once our time was our own gravity ours to defy

Now we jump to attention asking when and how high

And we’re playin’ it safe and we’re towin’ the line

‘cause it’s a big enough chance just speaking our mind

And we fill in the hole where the dream used to be

I guess we’re just as dead as John Kennedy

We introduced ourselves to the great unknown

It’d been an honest mistake if we were alone

Once there were Reds in the box and a good Jack and Coke

Now we’re as dangerous as water with no sign of smoke

But once our time was our own gravity ours to defy

Now we jump to attention asking when and how high

And we’re playin’ it safe and we’re towin’ the line

‘cause it’s a big enough chance just speaking our mind

And we fill in the hole where the dream used to be

I guess we’re just as dead as John Kennedy
