Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The - Where You Come From Lyrics






It's not where you come from It's more where you're going And knowing the going might get strange The world's greatest writers Are all drunks and fighters Get going, that isn't going to change Will you still wager on the egg? Is it the egg or are you chicken? There's an outside possibility Your life might start to kick in Your heart will start the race Will you chase or set the pace? Brace yourself The plot's about to thicken It's not where you come from It's more where you're going And knowing the going might get strange The world's greatest writers Are all drunks and fighters Get going, that isn't going to change. It's been a thousand years or two And still the seconds keep on clicking Clogging cogs and greasing gears Still you can't stop the clock from ticking It's time that's overrated And being great's become outdated The apples, oranges? Not worth picking It's not where you come from It's more where you're going And knowing the going might get strange The world's greatest writers Are all drunks and fighters Get going, that isn't going to change Come on! Where is it you're going? Who was it who said it? Which stones are worth throwing? Who will we discredit? A pathetic aesthetic In a world less poetic It's not where you come from It's going, go get it It's not where you come from It's more where you're going And knowing the going might get strange The world's greatest writers Are all drunks and fighters Get going, that isn't going to change It's not where you come from It's more where you're going And knowing the going might get strange The world's greatest writers Are all drunks and fighters Get going, that isn't going to change Go! Where is it you're going? Who was it who said it? Which stones are worth throwing? Who will we discredit? A pathetic aesthetic In a world less poetic It's not where you come from It's going, go get it.

Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Where You Come From Comments
  1. J.... b....

    It's not where you come from
    It's more where you're going
    And knowing the going might get strange
    The world's greatest writers
    Are all drunks and fighters
    Get going, that isn't going to change

    Will you still wager on the egg?
    Is it the egg or are you chicken?
    There's an outside possibility
    Your life might start to kick in
    Your heart will start to race
    Will you chase or set the pace?
    Brace yourself
    The plot's about to thicken

    It's not where you come from
    It's more where you're going
    And knowing the going might get strange
    The world's greatest writers
    Are all drunks and fighters
    Get going, that isn't going to change

    It's been a thousand years or two
    And still the seconds keep on clicking
    Clogging cogs and greasing gears
    Still you can't stop the clock from ticking
    It's time that's overrated
    And being great's become outdated
    The apples, oranges?
    Not worth picking

    It's not where you come from
    It's more where you're going
    And knowing the going might get strange
    The world's greatest writers
    Are all drunks and fighters
    Get going, that isn't going to change

    Where is it we're going?
    Who was it who said it?
    Which stones are worth throwing?
    Who will we discredit?
    A pathetic aesthetic
    In a world less poetic
    It's not where you come from
    It's going, go get it

    I got this when it first came out. I cut school and walked to the mall just to buy it... SOOO disappointed. They got soft, and have been ever since. I thought it was because Nate Albert (guitarist) left the band, but he performed all guitar for the album, guess realized that the MM Bosstones weren't gonna be the same ever again, and he left to join his little brother's band, the "something" kickflips..
