44 Teenagers - Sloan

You don’t need us to tell you what to do

Remote control your fate as it bears down upon you

Secrets reveal themselves outside the lines

Calling the names out of who puts in the time

And now we’re just beginning to drive this train

All the wheels are spinning inside the teenage brain

Just the other day

I was reminded of the many ways Gord Downie died

I see a kid in my head

Who will be seeing red

Until his anger

Yields to pride

Me and my very own

Were in Barilko’s home

Where several thousands

Said their goodbyes

Carrying all the winnings

You never lost any games

Sometimes it’s unforgiving

And there’s a lot to gain

44 teenagers

Thinking about a master plan

To digitally download

A handmade box

Just to divvy it up

Between them

They don’t need us to tell them what to do

They’re voluntold by a blackhole catch 22

Thunderstorm teenangels merked by the weights of their world

Now they’re just beginning to drive this train

All the wheels are spinning inside the teenage brain

Climbing out of the teenage

Welcome back to round two

Every day is a blank page

Turnin' faster than you

Climbing out of the teenage

Welcome back to round two

Every day is a blank page

Turnin' faster than you

Climbing out of the teenage

Welcome back to round two

Every day is a blank page

Turnin' faster than you…
