Opposition Surge

I saw you through a vision like A premonition of Something long left in the past Like looking through a shaken up snow globe Of a scene never built to last And you looked sad I saw me in a tangled up heap With a long lost corpse of defeat A little dirty off the path that was beat But I smiled A glow beneath the meat And it felt sweet And I'm ten years late And out of date But that all sounds like something just made up by the kids in New York Who still think that things are cool They're exciting youth hot like lightning But bound down to their rules Beautiful fools beautiful fools We were born on the same year but I'm so much older We were born on the same year but I'm so much older I woke in a sweat Something close to regret But with no intent for change Cause I'm content but afraid you'll forget Or remember me by mistakes Cause our last few years were strange So I took a draw pulled out my crystal ball and What a strange fate I saw We were the same two stars Burnt out and shot down hard But the timing broke the fall And kept you small And I'm ten years late And out of date But that all sounds like something just made up by the kids in New York Who still think that things are cool They're exciting youth hot like lightning But bound down to their rules Beautiful fools beautiful fools We were born on the same year but I'm so much older We were born on the same year but I'm so much older You're just getting by on your American accent You're just getting by on your American accent You're just getting by on your American accent You're foreign despite your American accent
