[Intro]
Oh, oh I love you
Oh, oh I do
I got a sentimental illness for you
Please don't go away, oh yeah
[Verse 1]
I was a high school atom bomb
Going off on the weekends
Smoking dope and mowing lawns
And I hated all the new trends
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Me and my friends sang:
"Woah! Here's to the middle of the road!
At least it's better than here"
[Chorus 1]
Looking for a cause
But all I got was Santa Claus
I'm hanging on a dream that's too dumb to die
I feel like a cello
Lost somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high, too scared to dream
But too dumb to die
[Verse 2]
My daddy always was on strike
Going off with the teamsters
He said that "Everything will be alright...
Not every Sunday can be Easter"
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The picket line screamed:
"Woah! Don't cross
Don't cross the line because you'll be a scab, not a martyr!"
[Chorus 2]
Looking for a cause
But all I got was camouflage
I'm hanging on a dream that's too dumb to die
I feel like a cello
Lost somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
Too scared to dream
But too dumb to... uhm... yeah..
[Chorus 2]
Looking for a cause
But all I got was camouflage
I'm hanging on a dream that's too dumb to die
I feel like a cello
Lost somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high, too scared to dream
But too dumb to die
