Lyrics (for your iTunes and such):

Ha ha, 1, 2, 1, 2, ha
1, 2, 1, 2, 1, alright, what?, alright, let's go
Let's go, yeah
She told him she'd rather fix her makeup
Than try to fix what's going on
But the problem keeps on calling
Even with the cell phone gone
She told him that she believes in living
Bigger than she's living now
But her world keeps spinning backwards
And upside down
Don't say so long, and throw yourself wrong
Don't spin today away, 'cause today will soon be
Gone, like yesterday is gone
Like history is gone
Just try to prove me wrong
And pretend like you're immortal
She said, he said, live like no tomorrow
Every day we borrow brings us one step closer to the edge, infinity
Where's your treasure, where's your hope, if you get the world and lose your soul?
She pretends like, she pretends like she's immortal
Don't say so long, you're not that far gone
This could be your big chance to make up
Today will soon be
Gone, like yesterday is gone
Like history is gone
The world keeps spinning on
You're going, going
Gone, like summer break is gone
Like Saturday is gone
Just try to prove me wrong
You pretend like you're immortal
You're immortal, ha, ah!
We are not infinite
We are not permanent
Nothing is immediate
We're so confident in our accomplishments
Look at our decadence
Gone, like Frank Sinatra, like Elvis and his mom
Like Al Pacino's cash, nothing lasts in this life
My high school dreams are gone
My childhood sweets are gone
Life is a day that doesn't last for long
Life is more than money, time was never money
Time was never cash, life is still more than girls
Life is more than hundred dollar bills and roto-tom fills
Life is more than fame and rock and roll and thrills
All the riches of the kings end up in wills
We've got information in the information age
But do we know what life is outside of our convenient Lexus cages?
She said, he said, live like no tomorrow
Every moment that we borrow
Brings us closer to the God who's not short of cash
Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked
Life is still worth living
Life is still worth living
Life is more than you are
