lyrics

Grandma’s house is kept cool in the summer
With some form of sorcery
She says it works, and sometimes it does
But just how is a mystery
She’s gotta brand new air conditioner
Still in the box down in the cellar
Don’t you know life could be so much easier
She never listens to what I try to tell her

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I said you gotta move on, gotta move move on
Oh, oh, oh, oh, You gotta get with the times so you gotta move on

If the past is a foreign country
The future must be one too
And they won’t need what we’ve got
They won’t care what we’ve learned to do
But we don’t need them either!
Why rush into something new?
We could save this moment in amber
Cuz it’s working for me and you

Maybe I’m scared to see
What it means to be
Dependent on someone else’s promise
To solve my problems for me
So you can take this back
It was never unwrapped
Give it to the world that needs it
To keep its ambitions on track

If the past is a foreign country
The future must be one too
And they won’t need what we’ve got
They won’t care what we’ve learned to do
But we don’t need them either!
We’ll keep on making do
Doing it the way we always have
Cuz it’s working, it’s working, it’s working, for me and you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, it’s working, it’s working
Oh, oh, oh, oh, it’s working for me and you
