All That Way for This
What we wanted was chain lightning What we wanted was eight miles high What we wanted was free fall and our turn to fly
What we wanted was more fireworks Everlasting Fourth of July What we wanted was more stars in a bluer sky
CHORUS All we wanted was something worth it Worth the labour, worth the wait Then they take you up to the mountain And you see too late In the middle of a good time Truth gave me her icy kiss Look around, you must be joking All that way, all that way for this
What we wanted was consolation The hand of strangers, help for pain What we wanted was to be sure No friends were lost in vain
What we wanted was aggravation A good cause, a bigger row What we wanted was the whole plantation Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Now, now, now
CHORUS
What we wanted was rhyme and reason What we wanted was another way What we get is a tinpot heaven And we're too drunk to pray
What we get is the old machinery Grinding on in the same old way What we need is the sweet republic Roll on Independence Day
In the middle of a good time Truth gave me her icy kiss Look around, you must be joking All that way, all that way for this
(repeats once)
All that way, all that way for this All that way, all that way for this All that way, we come all that way for this
