Uncle Tupelo Outdone Lyrics

Outdone Lyrics

Everything's fine for now, no one's really laughing

Everything's just all right, or is it now

? up to the round, but keep moving on

You can cut the cord now, just dragging along



Now there's too many people trying too hard

Not to be outdone

They follow close behind their proud smoking gun



It's up to you and me whether to pay them any mind

Some people turn to tomorrow, and some, a bottle of wine

Remember back when there could be no wrong

It's different for everyone until it's gone



Now there's too many people trying too hard

Not to be outdone

They follow close behind their proud smoking gun



Things are breaking down

Not  that stuff

Think it over again



Dreams come and go, and one thing remains

In the back of your mind, it won't go away

Saying, "take a look around and tell me everything's just fine

From what I can see now, we'd be fools or lying"



Now there's too many people trying too hard

Not to be outdone

They follow close behind their proud smoking gun



They say take your leave from the common view

First look around past the college grounds

Were people aware of more than themselves, they'd care
