[Verse 1]
I close my eyes and then I count to ten
Shake some hands and then I feel ashamed
I'm in control but I am out of time
I've lost the need for any desire
Any desire
[Chorus]
I had ambition but it slipped away
Inherited goodness, it is here to stay
It's not about us anymore
It's not about us, 'bout us anymore
[Verse 2]
I close my eyes and then I count to ten
I open them up and then I shut them again
Look at the crowd and then forget my part
Back to memory and then back to the start
Back to the start
[Chorus]
I'm back to the stuff that made us strong
Back to reality, back to fuck all
It's not about us anymore
It's not about us, 'bout us anymore
[Verse 3]
Close my eyes and then I count to ten
Sign some papers and then they are my friends
Attempt to make a bed, my skin aches
Not even massage can make my body straight
My body straight
[Chorus]
Count to ten and then pretend I'm home
Just get a job I get well paid for
It's not about us anymore
It's not about us anymore, 'bout us anymore
[Outro]
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
