Permanent Vacation Lyrics

[Verse 1: Michael, Michael & Ashton]
You say that I'm too complicated
Hung up and miseducated
Well, I say nine-to-five is overrated
And we all fall down
I can't sleep 'cause my mind keeps racin'
My chest hurts 'cause my heart keeps breakin'
I'm so numb and I can't stop shakin'
And we all fall down

[Pre-Chorus: All, Luke]
Frustration, desperation
You say I need some kind of medication
Situation: no motivation
Destination: permanent vacation

[Chorus: All]
Hey, I'm doin' fine
And I know I'm out of line
So let's sing this one more time
It goes, destination: permanent vacation

[Post-Chorus: Michael]
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na

[Verse 2: Calum & Michael, Calum]
Voices coming through the speaker
They can't make me a believer
I know I'm an underachiever
And we're all so proud
And watch out, I think we're goin' under
Right now, you're just another number
Get out, your system's in the gutter
And we're all so proud

[Pre-Chorus: All, Luke]
Frustration, desperation
You say I need some kind of medication
Situation: no motivation
Destination: permanent vacation

[Chorus: All]
Hey, I'm doin' fine
And I know I'm out of line
So let's sing this one more time
It goes, destination: permanent vacation
Hey, I'm doin' fine
And I know I'm out of line
So let's sing this one more time
It goes, destination: permanent vacation

[Post-Chorus: Michael]
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na

[Bridge: Michael, All, Ashton]
Congratulations, your imitations
Are takin' over the radio stations
Corporations, calculations
We're the voice of the new generation
Congratulations, your imitations
Are takin' over the radio stations
Corporations, calculations
We're the voice of the new generation (Hey!)

[Chorus: All, Ashton, Luke]
Hey, I'm doin' fine
And I know I'm out of line
So let's sing this one more time
It goes, destination: permanent vacation
Hey, I'm doin' fine (Doing fine)
And I know I'm out of line (Out of line)
So let's sing this one more time
It goes, destination: permanent vacation

[Outro: Michael, Luke]
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Destination: permanent vacation
