- We Shall Not Overcome Lyrics / with translationsThe bands I like, they don't sell too many records
And the girls I like, they don't kiss too many boys
Books I read will never be best sellers, yeah
But come on fellas at least we made our choice, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
What do we want?
And when do we want it?
And how would we feel if we knew that we were never
gunna get it?
And where did we start from?
And where are we going?
Can anyone here say with any certainty that they know
what they're doing?
Ever feel like an awkward understudy thrown into a cast
where you just don't get along?
Crowd and the crew all standing silent staring
And you can't shake the feeling that somehow you're
doing it wrong
What do we want?
Mum and dad always seem like that had a plan
Everything fell apart when mum moved on, now dad's a
broken man
And all these decisions that keep getting made
I can't remember making them and nobody wants to
explain
We're all awkward understudies wearing comfortable
shoes
Getting comfortable with doing it wrong
Missed the dress rehearsals and we had to rush a drink
before the show
But now it's show time and we're singing our song!
Because the bands I like, they don't sell too many
records
And the girls I like, they don't kiss too many boys
Books I read will never be best sellers, yeah
But come on fellas at least we made our choice
The bands I like, they don't sell too many records
And the girls I like, they don't kiss too many boys
Books I read will never be best sellers, yeah
But come on fellas at least we made our choice
Be a fan of every band that made you want to move your
feet
Fall along with every person who ever made your heart
want to skip a beat
So come on, come on, come on!
What do we want?
We shall not overcome!
We shall not go well!
Hey, hey!
Because the lives we lead, they will be so very perfect
And the plans we make made us serve some kind of
purpose
But the hearts we meet still beat the way they used to
If you're doing it wrong, well yeah what you gunna do?
What do we want?
And the girls I like, they don't kiss too many boys
Books I read will never be best sellers, yeah
But come on fellas at least we made our choice, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
What do we want?
And when do we want it?
And how would we feel if we knew that we were never
gunna get it?
And where did we start from?
And where are we going?
Can anyone here say with any certainty that they know
what they're doing?
Ever feel like an awkward understudy thrown into a cast
where you just don't get along?
Crowd and the crew all standing silent staring
And you can't shake the feeling that somehow you're
doing it wrong
What do we want?
Mum and dad always seem like that had a plan
Everything fell apart when mum moved on, now dad's a

And all these decisions that keep getting made
