Lyrics

Your soul is holding out
You don't care what you're 'bout
Been hurt too many times
Your heart is checking out

We like to ride on our bicycles
Up to the very top
Then it's back to the bottom 'cause, baby,
This train ain't ever gonna stop
They tell us exactly the things
That we should and we shouldn't do
'Cause we don't have any idea
What we're supposed to do

The screws keep on turning
We don't know who we're supposed to blame
We're watching the boat spin around
Till it goes right down the drain

We're the unofficials, baby
We're the unofficials, baby
And nobody knows what to do
Where to go, what to say
We're the unofficials, baby
We're the unofficials, baby
And nobody knows what to do
Where to go, who to pay

Your soul is holding out
You don't care what you're 'bout
Been hurt too many times
Your heart is checking out

I'm a lonely man and I can see
That you are a lonely girl
They say opposites will attract
But I am a lot like you
Like father, like son, like mother
Like daughter, it passes on
We need someone strong to advise us
So we can keep keepin' on
I've just been makin' a fool of myself
For way too long
Stop tellin' me that I'm right
When you're thinking that I am wrong

We're the unofficials, baby
We're the unofficials, baby
And nobody knows what to do
Where to go, what to say
We're the unofficials, baby
We're the unofficials, baby
And nobody knows what to do
Where to go, who to pay

Your soul is holding out
You don't care what you're 'bout
Been hurt too many times
Your heart is checking out
