Forget about Norman, small town Rockwell,
Scenes of simple life
Forget about savings and poignant phrasings,
Cigarettes and schoolyard fights
Let us out now, Lord of our speed and fancy,
Of our, "can you hear me" now's and our techno loves

Drop us off on 55th and keep us reading Vonnegut,
And point out now what we're careless of
My chance in life is worth letting go of all the trends,
They're setting so, forgive me,
If I'm so ordinary, with extraordinary reasons to live

It's just like a boy, to save his honor and his money,
It's just like a girl, to feel
It's just like a child, to stand and interrupt us all,
And say, "I'll gladly take the fall for you"

Now, love, love, love, yes, it's all you need,
John and Paul Ringo George professed;
If I've got love, I can feel, I can remember every meal
But, like a gift, it can be taken all away
My chance in life is worth letting go of all the trends,
They're setting, so, forgive me,
If I'm so ordinary, with extraordinary reasons to live

It's just like a boy, to save his honor and his money,
It's just like a girl, to feel
It's just like a child, to stand and interrupt us all,
And say, "I'll gladly take the fall for you"

I'll gladly take the fall for you
