81 and we're half alive
Even though, well, we would rather die
Oh I know that we can survive
Long enough to wonder why
And it seems like a miracle now
Till the sight in a mirror comes round
Kid, I'd just move on
Kid, I'd just go home
81, at least we tried
Hard enough to have our dreams unwind
Long ago we had so much pride
Now we know all we have is time
Even though, well, we would rather die
Oh I know that we can survive
Long enough to wonder why
And it seems like a miracle now
Till the sight in a mirror comes round
Kid, I'd just move on
Kid, I'd just go home
81, at least we tried
Hard enough to have our dreams unwind
Long ago we had so much pride
Now we know all we have is time
