Uncle Tupelo - Outdone lyrics

Everything's fine for now, no one's really laughing Everything's just all right, or is it now Turn up to the round, but keep moving on You can cut the cord now, just dragging along Now there's too many people trying too hard Not to be outdone They follow close behind their proud smoking gun It's up to you and me 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 It's different for everyone until it's gone Now there's too many people trying too hard Not to be outdone They follow close behind their proud smoking gun Things are breaking down Not that stuff Think it over again Dreams come and go, and 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 lying" Now there's too many people trying too hard Not to be outdone They follow close behind their proud smoking gun They say take your leave from the common view First look around past the college grounds Were people aware of more than themselves, they'd care
