What's sure to get you by Is to avoid the common lie That we're under starters Starters orders She lost her nerve the last day Distractions in the cross-hairs Still under starters Misunderstanding orders We're made like the past We were built to last We're made like the past We were built to last Night time is the wrong time To be with the thoughts you fear They drag their nails And rattle their chains See the people move so slow Moving statues of heavy stone Illusions for the non-believer Or just a shadow thrown We're made like the past We were built to last We're made like the past We were built to last Words don't move her She's moving on, she's moving on And he can't drown out The distant drone Every morning he wakes and starts again Is this all that you've done? Speeding lights and runways Spit her out into a new day And the bullet you dodged Will soon be lodged in another heart We're made like the past We were built to last(They don't make us like they used to)(We can't stand the test of time) We're made like the past We were built to last(They don't make us like they used to)(We can't stand the test of time) They don't make us like they used to We can't stand the test of time They don't make us like they used to We can't stand the test of time They don't make us like they used to We can't stand the test of time
