[Verse 1: Michael]
You say that I'm too complicated
Hung up and miseducated
I say 9-to-5 is overrated
And we all fall down
I can't sleep 'cause my mind keeps racing
My chest hurts 'cause my heart keeps breaking
I'm so numb and I can't stop shaking
And we all fall down

[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
Frustration, desperation
They say I need some kind of medication
Situation: no motivation
Destination: permanent vacation

[Chorus: All & Michael]
Hey, I'm doing fine
And I know I'm out of line
So let's sing this one more time
It goes, destination: permanent vacation
Na na, na na na na na

[Verse 2: Calum]
Voices are coming through the speakers
And they can't make me a believer
I know I'm an underachiever
And we're all so proud
Watch out, I think we're going under
Right now you're just another number
Get out, the system's in the gutter
And we're all so proud

[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
Frustration, desperation
They say I need some kind of medication
Situation: no motivation
Destination: permanent vacation

[Chorus: All & Michael]
Hey, I'm doing fine
And I know I'm out of line
So let's sing this one more time
It goes, destination: permanent vacation
Hey, I'm doing fine
And I know I'm out of line
So let's sing this one more time
It goes, destination: permanent vacation
Na na, na na na na na
Na na, na na na na na

[Bridge: Michael & All]
Congratulations, your imitations
Are taking over the radio stations
Corporations, calculations
We're the voice of the new generation
Congratulations, your imitations
Are taking over the radio stations
Corporations, calculations
We're the voice of the new generation

[Chorus: All & Luke & Michael]
Hey, I'm doing fine
And I know I'm out of line
So let's sing this one more time
It goes, destination: permanent vacation
Hey, I'm doing fine
And I know I'm out of line
So let's sing this one more time
It goes
Destination: permanent vacation
Na na, na na na na na
Na na, na na na na na
Destination: permanent vacation
