We feel a desperation rise from the trees
We're keeping our hearts so ever close
Is this the generation left on the brink
Or will we find a way to stay composed
And all I want is a call on the way
And all I want is a spot on the stage
Stand by telephone
Break the open dial tone
A chance just to make it
To feel so awakened
To look past persuasions
To feel we can brave it
All in this world...
Needing more than paychecks to fall asleep
Have we found a purpose we can hold
Taking occupations with no belief
Money doesn't mean there is control
And all I want is a call on the way
And all I want is a spot on the stage
Stand by telephone
Break the open dial tone
A chance just to make it
To feel so awakened
To look past persuasions
To feel you can brave it
Oh stand by telephone
Break the open dial tone
A chance just to make it
To feel so awakened
To look past persuasions
To feel we can brave it
All in this world...
Don't leave the wires all tangled
Don't let the telephone down
Don't leave your wires all tangled
Don't let the poles touch the ground
