Old 97's

Our Year Lyrics

Outside the cool world is raging

Inside it's cold and it's dark

The walls in this place are like canvas

None of these deadbeats here work.



All the way back in April

The year of our Lord '86

I broke a switch on the light bulb

I ain't been quite the same since.



Voice in my head says it's best not said

Wondering how much of it's true.



You were right, I'm wrong for you

You were right, I'm wrong for you.



Outside the choppers are hovering

Outside the dogs have been loosed

The theme of this party's still hanging

One prop they brought was a noose.



And outside the cool world is raging

But inside it's over by ten

If I had friends, they'd be here right now

I'd give my eye teeth for friends.



And sooner or later it's bound to get better

Sooner or later won't do.



You were right, I'm wrong for you

You were right, I'm wrong for you

You were right, I'm wrong for you.
