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
