Go On Songtext
von The Elected

Well did you do something for yourself, Mom
And get the hell out of the house?
Would you do something for your son, Mom
And stop taking all these pills?
Cause it′s cold in December and there's a reason to stay in
And I wanna see you when
You′re on the deck of that ship, yeah, you're sailing away
And the sun looks right on your face

Without a reason to believe in something
You can do most anything
Well that's what you told me some place
But I can′t remember when
It was a long time ago, maybe the first day of school
Or going to visit Dad
I was scared but you told me I could bomb if I want
I was only nine but I went

So go on and make your families proud
Just like you always do
Just like they want you to


My old girlfriend′s studying medicine
Would you save my life if I got sick?
Haven't seen you in a while, how have you been?
Of course if you had the right insurance for it
And I think if we got back together again
You know, give it a run, you know, you were my first love
You′re very drunk and we were very young
I'm going to see this guy and it might be love
Yeah I think he might be the one
If you get married, can I come?
I gotta see this!

Well go on and dig your holes in this ground
Yeah go on and lay your tired bodies down
Just like you′re going to
Just like they expect you to

I'm thinking about moving away
Now that we had this talk, I definitely may
(Look into your eyes)
Well now go on and break your word
And it′ll break me down
And I'll go on and I'll break
Every last thing in this house
Just like I′m going to
Just like you expect me to

Yeah go on and make your family proud
Yeah go on and stake your claim in this ground
Yeah go on and take that last drink down
And it′ll get you through
What did they put you through?
