Here to Stay

I’ve been watching the fans rotate
I’ve been watching the leaflets turn
I’ve been watching the plants, even though they’re fake
And I’ve been thinking about the things I’ll never learn
I’ve been watching the stones below
I’ve been watching the moves they make
I’ve been watching the faces that they’ll never know
And I’ve been thinking about what could be at stake
So who in the hell got up and rerung the bell
And tell me who am I fighting for?
Or give me a hand, because I really can’t stand anymore
And I’m bored, but I’m here to stay
I’m here to stay, I’m here to stay, I’m here to stay
I’ve been watching the insects work
I’ve been watching the lion sleep
I’ve been watching the redemption of Captain Kirk
And I’ve been thinking about how they can’t make me weep;
Not for free
So who in the hell got up and rerung the bell
And tell me who am I fighting for?
Or give me a hand, because I really can’t stand anymore
And I’m bored, but I’m here to stay
I’m here to stay, I’m here to stay, I’m here to stay
I’m here to stay
(who in the hell got up and rerung the bell)
I’m here to stay
(and tell me who am I fighting for?)
I’m here to stay
(Or give me a hand, because I really can’t stand anymore)
I’m here to stay
(and I’m bored)
I’m here to stay, I’m here to stay, I’m here to stay
I’m here to stay, I’m here to stay, I’m here to stay
