We got our first McDonalds and it made the headline news
In a town where no one locks their doors at night.
All the lights are flashing yellow, we just roll right through,
And there is not a superstore in sight
But there's more to life, I told myself
I'd say goodbye by the time the clock struck twelve.
And I can't pull the trigger on that changing world out there.
With all these dreams I can't believe I'm still standing here.
It's time to face the fact I'm not the rebel that I thought,
'cause midnight's gone, but I'm not.
Everyone I run into has known me all my life.
There are no secrets you can call your own.
Since the age of seventeen I've faced the morning light
Saying this day is the day I'm gonna go.
All I have to do is drive away,
But the things that make me crazy always make me stay.
(repeat chorus)
It's time to face the fact I'm not the rebel that I thought,
'cause midnight's gone, midnight's gone, but I'm not.
