"Here We Go Again" lyrics - OPERATION IVY

OPERATION IVY
"Here We Go Again"

It's not the ending
It's the beginning
The ground is moist and it rained last night
Smells like smoke and it smells so clean
The sun is shining down like a friendly white light

Here we go again

Analyzed the world I was born into
But I could never understand
Knew I never wanted to grow up if that meant being a man
Dominating strict competition is the meaning of our lives
Stomping on the weak keeps us the winner of the battle in our minds

Tensions in our lives that are destroying our minds
Unite themselves together to make our consciousness blind
Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away
If that's what they call normal then I'd rather be insane

Relax yourself from giving what you want to do with your life
Ease up from giving up things like control of your own mind
If you never ask any question
Then you're never gonna get no answer
Always be wondering what do you want
While you keep getting older faster

Tensions in our lives that are destroying our minds
Unite themselves together to make our consciousness blind
Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away
If that's what they call normal then I'd rather be insane (Insane, Insane)

Tensions in our lives that are destroying our minds
Unite themselves together to make our consciousness blind
Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away
If that's what they call normal then I'd rather be insane

Relax yourself from giving what you want to do with your life
Ease up from giving up things like control of your own mind
If you never ask any question
Then you're never gonna get no answer
Always be wondering what do you want
Keep getting older faster

Here we go again

Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away (Here we go again)
If that's what they call normal I'd rather be insane (Here we go again)

Here we go again

Another test of manhood (Here we go again)
Just when you thought you'd won (Here we go again)
The more we keep competing (Here we go again)
The more the battle has just begun
