Now all the secrets of old age
They tell us we should really stop
They implore us oh
They should adore us oh
It's been a year and now we find
We're lost behind enemy lines
They're gunning for us oh
But they never even met us oh
What happened to our heavy metal?
What happened to our coat of arms?
We find that we're stuck in the middle
Picking up the pieces of our hearts
And there will be no comfort
For all that we have lost
The actors seemed so happy
But somehow ended all washed up
What happened to our heavy metal?
What happened to our coat of arms?
We find that we're stuck in the middle
Picking up the pieces of our hearts
They tell us we should really stop
They implore us oh
They should adore us oh
It's been a year and now we find
We're lost behind enemy lines
They're gunning for us oh
But they never even met us oh
What happened to our heavy metal?
What happened to our coat of arms?
We find that we're stuck in the middle
Picking up the pieces of our hearts
And there will be no comfort
For all that we have lost
The actors seemed so happy
But somehow ended all washed up
What happened to our heavy metal?
What happened to our coat of arms?
We find that we're stuck in the middle
Picking up the pieces of our hearts

One to two, and love baby love me
Two to three, now love and hold me
Three to four, my baby really needs me
Four to five, now are we still alive, now
Five to six, we're forgetting six
Six to seven, I'll meet you in heaven
Seven to eight, we're staying up too late
Eight to nine, we're having a really good time
"we will find that we're stuck in the middle"
I mean sure, we should all as one help defend our generation but sometimes as I see how our outh act I have my doubts.
They tell us we should really stop
Now they implore us oh
They should adore us oh
It's been a year and now we find
We're lost behind enemy lines
They're gunning for us oh
They never even met us oh
Well what happened to our heavy metal?
Now what happened to my coat of arms?
We will find out we are stuck in the middle
Picking up the pieces of our hearts
And there will be no comfort
For all that we have lost
The actors seemed so happy
But somehow ended all washed up
Now what happened to our heavy metal?
It could happened to my coat of arms?
We will find that we're stuck in the middle
Picking up the pieces of our hearts
One two and love baby love me
Two to three now hold me hold me
Three to four really really need me
Four to five now are we still alive, now
Five to six we're forgetting six
Six to seven I'll need you in heaven
Seven to eight we're staying up too late
Eight to nine we're having such a good time
(If you want to discern them for yourself and you feel like taking the initiative, open it in an audio editor, split the stereo tracks, and invert the phase on one of the two stereo channels, which will cancel out the center track -- which, on this particular mix, is most of the drums and Alec's voice, leaving the background vocals -- mixed hard left -- very easily heard.)
such as.....
"Now all the secrets of old age
They tell us we should really stop
They implore us oh
They should adore us oh"-This simply explains that the older generation shuns what the new(young) generation values
"They're gunning for us oh
But they never even met us oh"-This part explains how the older generation completely judges the new(young) generation.
"What happened to our heavy metal?
What happened to our coat of arms?"-This part is asking what happened to how young people used to be united and defend their new ways against the older generation. The "heavy metal" the singer is referring to is what I believe to be what the young generation USED to use as a way to deviate from the older generation(In the late 80's and 90's per say). So basically the singer asks "why arent we fighting anymore, what happened to our unity, pride, and deviance?" I myself wonder the same....being part of the young generation. I believe the answer lies in the fact that the youth are becoming more and more brainwashed by the older generation, becoming less defiant and less independent due to teachings they see all around them that these kinds of thigns are bad, morals and religion contribute to this and the government uses these kinds of things to herd our youth around like sheep for that purpose.
