[Verse 1]
This goes to my generation
It's our job to fix the nation
How we're living just won't do the trick (How we're living just won't do the trick)
One day the world will stop rotating
Maybe soon if we're complacent
And we don't pay no mind to how we live
[Chorus]
Life won't you please speed up, then slow back down?
When I get to feeling good again
And when the evening comes, the sun goes down
And I think to myself this could be the end
[Verse 2]
I wanna be a damn good father
I wanna find the perfect mother
For my childrеn later down the road
But, God may tell us stop don't bothеr
Soon the Earth will fill with water
From crying about the kids we'll never know
[Chorus]
Life won't you please speed up, then slow back down?
When I get to feeling good again
And when the evening comes, the sun goes down
And I think to myself this could be the end
[Verse 3]
If you told me it's our final day to test my faith
I would tell you I know where we're going it's okay
And when we see that place
We'll surely want to stay
I've only heard stories, but the story's fucking great
