Built to Last (Swedish American Hall, San Francisco)

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
