[Verse 1]
We are not the first to be
We won't be the last
We're looking to the future
Banking on the past
It's still the middle ages here
We are immature
Somewhere between bitten nails
And our first manicure

[Verse 2]
We are not the first to be
They'll be something next
We're just trying to improvise
While sticking to the text
But we are not bеyond despair
And it is my belief
That only art can brеak your heart
But that love will bring relief

[Chorus]
Onward, onward we must go
To the ends of the earth
Just to plant another flag that says
"We are not the first"
[Verse 3]
We are not the first to be
We are not alone
We're treading in their footprints
In a land we thought unknown
From the sea, we found the land
Built a boat and sailed
Some of us had second thoughts
And they turned back into whales

[Chorus]
So deeper, deeper we must go
On a sea that is cursed
We never think ahead
'Cause we are not the first

[Verse 4]
We are not the first to be
We are not the world
We're just a holy singles club
Of lonely boys and girls
Who come together once awhile
To compare notes and converse
And trade our baby carriage in
For a handsome little hearse
[Chorus]
Downward, downward we must go
Beyond the final verse
We won't be the last
'Cause we were not the first
