as time was ticking, we were winning

and it all was going as planned

politicians stand between the lines

of making headlines

street signs saying

"you're going the wrong way"

fading faster now



you can try to break us

and make us fall apart

but the fire's in our hearts

reminisce on memories

'cause we're gone

don't forget to

hold back your thoughts

and live like robots

'cause we all know what goes on

reminisce on memories

'cause we're gone

we're gone, so gone



fallen soldiers all around us

but we're still standing strong

embarrassing and contradicting

'cause now we're making

headlines, primetime

saying, "what a story!"

billboards, packed tours

don't forget



you can try to break us

and make us fall apart

but the fire's in our hearts

reminisce on memories

'cause we're gone

(we're gone)

don't forget to

hold back your thoughts

and live like robots

'cause we all know what goes on

reminisce on memories

'cause we're gone

we're gone, so gone



and game over, you're done

(baby, you're done; baby, you're done)

out of left field we won

(we won, we won)

pack our bags

yeah, we'll run

(we're gonna run, yeah, we're gonna run)

hollywood, here we come



you can try to break us

and make us fall apart

but the fire's in our hearts

reminisce on memories

'cause we're gone

and don't forget to

hold back your thoughts

and live like robots

'cause we all know what goes on

reminisce on memories

'cause we're gone

we're gone



you can try to break us

and make us fall apart

but the fire's in our hearts

reminisce on memories

'cause we're gone
