Story behind the song
this song is about not letting all the negative and cynical aspects of 21st century western culture bring you down. the title refers to reclaiming your natural joy by actively deciding, 'this mindset is stupid and self-destructive and i am better than that.'
Lyrics
-v.1- don't you ever get tired of having oh so many choices don't you ever get tired of just standing in line don't you ever get tired of waiting for something better to come along don't you ever get tired of thinking there's nothing you can do? don't you ever get tired of moving from one shiny idea to the next? don't you ever get tired of being told how to feel and what to think don't you ever get tired of waiting in the rain? don't you ever get tired of thinking you can't make a difference? -b- when i turn my eyes up to the sky i can't see the sun through all the smog can't we see what we're doing is wrong how can we be so short sighted? each day we get a little worse our culture swims in the perverse the death of innocence will be televised with pain and madness on the rise obsessed with things that we despise it gets ever harder to hold on to joy we try to fill the void within we're told we can if we just buy but the way that we are told can only bring destruction -c- don't let them take the dream away watch the night fading into day don't let them take your soul away spread your wings and fly today -v.2- don't you ever get tired of just wanting to belong? don't you ever get tired of being part of the problem? don't you ever get tired of chasing all that's hip? don't you ever get tired of thinking there's nothing you can do? don't you ever get tired of saying its someone else's problem? don't you ever get tired of trying to buy happiness? don't you ever get tired of being made to feel just not good enough? don't you ever get tired of thinking you can't make a difference? -b- -c-
