lyrics

Got a second hand version filtered from the third person
Damage control, kicking the conversion
Pulling the plug before it worsens
Sometimes when you’re down you gotta keep going
Pick up the pace if it is slowing
If the fights worth anything it’s worth throwing

Hey hey - If you ask for an estimate
Hey hey – You’ll just get a best guess

I never knew the details but I got the gist
Shane’s stepfather did things he never shoulda did
Hanging from the rafters thinking ‘bout the kid
With a little luck we could probably get back on track
Drop our defenses, load our attack,
Readdress things and revise the map

Hey hey - If you ask for an estimate
Hey hey – You’ll just get a best guess

Face up to each other give up the pretence
Back to earth after time on the fence
Try and find some common ground among the common sense
Doomed to failure we can accept our fate
God only knows it’s been worth the wait
Even if we’re too far gone and far too late

Hey hey - If you ask for an estimate
Hey hey – You’ll just get a best guess
