[Verse]  E    Dsus2 Well I’m dressed up so nice N.C.         An’ I’m doin’ my best E4     Dsus2 Yes I’m startin’ over.. N.C. Startin’ over in another place [Verse] Lemme tell you a story N.C. Big chief with a golden crown He’s got rings on his fingers N.C. And he walks up up to the throne [Verse] He’s makin’ shapes with his hands N.C. An’ don’t you dare sit back Now don’t you dare sit down N.C. And don’t you dare speak up [Chorus] And on the first day we had everything we could stand Who could have asked for more? And on the second day there was nothing else left to do Ooh what a day that was [Verse]  E    Dsus2 Well there are 50000 beggars N.C. Roaming in the streets   E4    Dsus2 And they have lost all their possessions N.C. They have nothing left to eat [Verse] Down come a bolt of lightning N.C. Start an electrical storm And starts a chain reaction N.C. Go pull a fire alarm [Verse] I said I I’m dreaming of a city N.C. It was my own invention And I put the wheels in motion   N.C. A time for big decisions [Chorus] And on the first day we had everything we could stand Ooh and then we let it fall And on the second day there was nothing else left at all Ooh what a day that was [Bridge] Oh a day that was Ooh that’s the way it goes There’s a million ways to get things done Three’s a million ways to make things work out [Verse]  E    Dsus2 Well I’m going right through N.C. And the light came down   E4  Dsus2 Well they’re roundin’ ’em up N.C. From all over the town [Verse] They’re movin’ forward and backwards N.C. They’re movin’ backwards and front And they’re enjoying themselves N.C. Moving in every direction [Verse] And if you feel like you’re in a whirlpool N.C. You feel like going home You feel like talking to someone N.C. Who knows the difference between right and wrong [Chorus] Oh and on the first day we had everything we could stand Ooh and then we let it fall And on the second day there was nothing else left at all Ooh what a day that was [Outro]     E Dsus2 We’re goin’ boom boom boom N.C. And that’s the way we live    E4 Dsus2 And in a great big room  N.C.    And that’s the way we live

La chanson évoque le début d'une nouvelle aventure, où malgré les efforts pour bien faire, on se retrouve confronté à des réalités difficiles et à des choix décisifs. Elle décrit un contraste frappant entre euphories initiales et désillusions rapides, illustrant comment en un rien de temps, tout peut basculer, laissant place à la désolation et au doute. Dans un univers à la fois vibrant et chaotique, on rencontre des personnages qui cherchent des repères, comme autant de symboles des luttes humaines diverses. La chanson nous invite à réfléchir sur nos aspirations et les défis qui se présentent, tout en soutenant l'idée que chaque jour peut être une nouvelle occasion de se relever et de continuer à se battre. C'est une sorte de miroir des contradictions de la vie moderne, pleine de promesses, mais aussi d’incertitudes.
