When The Going Gets Dark - Quasi

When you told me if you can’t beat 'em, join 'em

I was thinking death before dishonor

As you lord over your front porch

Getting drunk with your neighbor

Well I might wander all day

Across the Milky Way

But I’ll be Joan of Arc when the going gets dark

Why buy a trip across the ocean

When you could already be the sea?

And they’ll tell you sign up with the winning team

Or get out of the way, get with the program

Welcome to the real world!

Is that what is real

Or is it just that the standard deal?

You can have all of that

That ain’t where it’s at

Why buy a trip across the ocean

When you could already be the sea?
