can't be caught
Home town, Hamilton, quiet place, wanna leave
Good friends, good times, my old car, Singing Beach
Camp site, river, woods, swilly nights, caught police
Can't leave, can't change, can't stop, another week
Gotta stay—I gotta stay right here and now
Gotta stay—stuck right in my town
Gotta stay—this place was great back then for me
Gotta stay—it's not exactly where I wanna be
When your life's built like a cell
You can't find a way out
When your life's built like a cell
Stuck inside my whole life
We can't be caught, No
We can't be caught in a four-wall way of life
I won't be caught, No
I won't be caught, ‘cause I can see more than in sight
Work hard, shit job, no respect, killing me
Lose sight, lose time, friend, girl, can't meet
Make rent, food, drinks, soap, lights, TV
Can't leave, can't change, can't stop, another week
It's hard when you're stuck in your town, and you can't get out
good luck
Well I've seen twenty-two years of life
And I think I basically know what's going on
As far as what life’s not about
There’s a cycle I won't be part of
But it's not because I don't think it's right
I must keep doing what I think I'm here for
And not get buried in someone else's life
When I was younger, I didn't know life meant falling into place
Taking over a menial position that meant nothing to you in the first
place
Getting older, confused by friends—they're twenty-two and almost
done
I must have missed the grow up sign—I thought we were still having
fun
So good luck with not forgetting who you are, even though it seems you
have to
Good luck finding your own way, not settling in where you're not happy
Good luck remembering it's only life
Good luck not following what you don't believe
Good luck seeing many problems are only a big deal if you make them
Everyone I’ve met surrounds me every day in my head
It's a part of what makes me who I am, it's the attitude of my life
And I see how some have made me feel
So nice to me—just made me laugh at life when I couldn't deal
And I wanna be just like that, it's what I want to be
Not held down by others, but now I can see
I'll make my life a place I like
Or I could just sit and blame for things not right
What's to gain spending all of your life putting your friends down again
and again?
So good luck being someone who can always help someone out
Good luck in remembering how much you can affect someone else
Good luck with not being selfish
Good luck with not being alone
Good luck in this life—we're all just trying to get along
Good luck with not being getting caught up
Good luck with not being jealous
Good luck with being alone
Good luck with figuring things out
Good luck with doing your best
Good luck with not losing yourself
Good luck in being happy when you sit to review your life
cutshow
Most adults are all the mean, stupid, annoying kids
You know, just older and now in charge!
You had a choice of life, but you decided to give in
Exactly what you were supposed to be, you perfected so you could win
Now your life's a textbook, a figure, a paragraph
Striving to be the best, you mock the ones who come in last
You always think yourself up, you’re always on patrol
You always think yourself up, your best friend’s named Control
Still laughing you said, you didn't say much
Still laughing you said, you said, well I think you’re out of
touch
It’s right
It’s wrong
Someone’s always telling me
Caught up in a social cutshow
Hit the lights so I can see
Caught up in what a life
My stages, my stages are my steps
Open to understanding, well, if of nothing else
It's better to sit half as long, if it's on something that you made
It's better to know yourself, self-memory often fades
Too many doubts, too many worries in your head
Not ready to solve them, you're hanging by a thread
Still laughing, you said, you didn't say much
Still laughing, you said, you said, well, I think you’re out of
touch
Keep talking, talking
Keep talking, talking, yeah
We don't listen, no, we don't care
Your story's fading, your story's fading
It's too bad you're caught up, it's too bad you're in
Celebrate your new life, in the social class you're in
And now you got new friends to follow, yeah
And now you got better things to do, yeah
You better think about who you're gonna cut
Better think about who you're gonna cut down this time
You’re cool and everybody knows
You’re cool and it shows
You’re caught in a cutshow
Caught up in what a life
