Lyrics
Let's go out in the back yard
Watch the lions roam in the field
Dress to the 'T' in our finest armor
So we don’t arrive back on our shields
Let's go witness a historic act
Through the lenses of tomorrow's eyes
We'll do our best to commence the quest
To watch Atlantis rematerialize
A quarter of a quarter of a century
A few more dimes just to waste my time
With amazing inefficiency
Johnny loves the air above
So he won't stand up to the man
Shall I risk my chance to escape
For a blurred word written in sand?
Let's go witness a belligerent act
And not fall down on our knees
We'll act as though we're grown-up now
Leave the rats to their house of cheese
A quarter of a quarter of a century
A few more dimes just to hasten my decline
Into the cold dark infinite sea
Janie lives for her chance to give
But she won't stand up to the man
Why should I pass on my heroic escape
Just because you don’t understand? Why?
Come with me to the back yard
Watch our Lyen roam through his field
We've come so far on little more than faith
Now is no time for us to yield
