Lyrics
Here it is: your final destination
What a time to lose your sense of direction
It?s the road paved with good intentions
You followed it right to its conclusion
Where were you in the middle of the action?
We might have had a chance against the opposition
Was it all too much to handle
Burning twice as bright as the other candles?
It?s a shame you couldn?t pay attention
The one with the answer never heard the question; but
Here you are: a bitter disappointment
Some of us remember your old achievements
Without you, we never had a prayer
You led us into battle then you disappeared
You fired our imagination
You used to be the pride of your generation
You could have made a contribution
You used to be the pride of your generation
