LYRICS:
If we don't kill ourselves
We'll be the leaders of a messed up generation
If we don't kid ourselves
Will they believe us if we tell them the reasons why
Did we take it too far?
Take it too far
Did we chase the rabbit into wonderland
Lose a hundred grand
Will they understand
It was all to stay awake for the longest
March on always after us
Lost troops, half the class of us
You man ain't seen the last of us
Stick around yeh like Elastoplast
Not half mast
Raise our flag, kick the sand
To let you know that we're coming and we're nasty man, and
Don't need sleeping beauty
No, It's what you do to me
Come midnight
And daybreak, yes please gotta find me her namesake
We got faith but don't need bibles
Take the Michael
Hear my recital, I hold the title
Quite vital
We get high on the opposite of Nytol
It was all to stay awake for the longest time
It was long, it was wrong
But it felt so right
See you at the finish line, see you at the finish line
If you got the heart to join us
If we don't kill ourselves
We'll be the leaders of a messed up generation
If we don't kid ourselves
Will they believe us if we tell them the reasons why
Did we take it too far?
Take it too far
Did we chase the rabbit into wonderland
Lose a hundred grand
Will they understand
It was all to stay awake for the longest
March on always after us
Lost troops, half the class of us
You man ain't seen the last of us
Stick around yeh like Elastoplast
Not half mast
Raise our flag, kick the sand
To let you know that we're coming and we're nasty man, and
Don't need sleeping beauty
No, It's what you do to me
Come midnight
And daybreak, yes please gotta find me her namesake
We got faith but don't need bibles
Take the Michael
Hear my recital, I hold the title
Quite vital
We get high on the opposite of Nytol
We just grow
If it's late then we'll show
We dont wait
We just grow
If you hate we don't show
We dont wait
We just grow
If it's late then we'll show
We dont wait
We just grow
If we don't kill ourselves
We'll be the leaders of a messed up generation
If we don't kid ourselves
Will they believe us if we tell them the reasons why
Did we take it too far?
Take it too far
Did we chase the rabbit into wonderland
Lose a hundred grand
Will they understand
It was all to stay awake for the longest

This song hits differently now that we've grown up.
Now look at us, we're stuck indoors
BunkerRantsParodies
The majority of the world is.
bert1029 tru dat
Pure nostalgia, remembrance of 2012
Yup
Example called it. He knew that our generation would be messed up.
Every generation is "messed up"
@@richarddavies5674 not as messed up as this one
@@pashalokyawolf2522 Wait for the next one.
@@kevindevlieger300 I'll be dead
@@pashalokyawolf2522 not true. You think the people in the industrial revolution was better? Young children had to work to keep the family from dying. Or the children who went through ww1 or ww2. Or back in the 1200s when their villages got pillaged and they was made slaves or just raped and murdered etc etc. We have it easy
This was an absolute banger back in the day
Thomas Mahoney it still is
Pete Glover fair enough mate
Thomas Mahoney
Still live'n it

Still live'n it
Me
I heard this song when I was 15, now I’m 25 and this tune hit differently!! Underrated musician! I hope Example makes a mad comeback with bangers like this 🤜🏾
I was 11 when I heard this and goes through the process, its too nostalgic
Same
I was 9 when this came out now it hits so different ‘if we don’t kill ourself we be leaders of a messed up generation’ so true
This song hits me in the feels! Man 2011 was the best and most memorable year of my life! Wish I could relive those days.
Same bro although I love 2010. Best year for music
Glad I aint the only one that thinks that too man
@@UlayothEU Such a brilliant song. You don’t get music like this anymore
Best Time i remember i whas 6 or 7 i have Always this song in my mind
Best year of music 90s 2000s to 2015
Damn we got old fast
Who's listening to this during lockdown?
Lock down I over, we are in 2023, different era.... what happened
I miss this style of example :(
Memories! Miss this style.. Prefer it.. Oh well
Absolutely, back then he was at this absolute best!
Me too
So do I… this one, Kickstarts, Midnight run, Changed The Way You Kiss Me… best songs
@@viktormeszaros7592 Yeah its a shame. I tried to listen to some of his newer songs but its totally different style of music that I just cant enjoy. What a pity.
Example got the london look.

@@glowy. This ain't grime 🤣
What genre is it then
I guess it's "EDM" it's that era.
One of those songs you forgot about and haven't heard in years, then remember every lyric when played.
I was literally 7 when this came out and still remember all the words to examples songs 😭😂
This is my childhood music right here.😊
This is my teenhood music right here 😭 I'm old
My teenage years here
@@ABC12331052 same
I was 20 I'm old old 😂😂
This is a song you remember well from your childhood but don’t know the name, then you play it and are transferred back in time
Wait, did I really post this half a year ago already?
Edit 2: fuck, its been a year.
Edit 3: holy crap 2 YEARS? #2021
Edit 4: 3 years now #2022

I refuse to believe this banger has been out and listened to for 12 whole years 😮❤ x
Time flies! I wish I could go back to 2010-2011 and relive those days!
This song is eerily prescient of social media...
2022 and this song still bangs. Only problem is that now, the lyrics hit so differently.
All of Examples song's always get's me pumped, I usually never listen to song's that are upbeat, I usually listen to Drum and Bass, but there is something about Example that I can't get enough of :s
Why are you shoving random apostrophes into words?
10 years after:
We took it too far.
Music is rubbish now bro
Hits different
September 23... man... EG knew what was gonna happen!
My dad used to put this on when we went out for a night drive and we would go around rally racin for no fuckin reason. I think it was minnistery of sound 2012 or 2011...still miss it😅😊

Example predicted the future with this one 😂🤣
This was an absolute banger at the time man, still love it in 2018
This song is like bad foreshadowing for people born in 1900’s/2000’s
Here in 2021. There is something great about this song but can not put my finger on it. Miss the Example days. I hope you doing OK Brother 🙏
The music I appreciate the most of all, is the music that I come back to and when I do it "brings me back in time." Somehow all his songs do that, and that's worth listening to forever.
Good music
i wish i could get back to that time😢🤘🏻🖤
I remember when I was just a kid discovering EDM and this was one of my favorite tracks (it still is). Now I'm almost 21 (December 30th 1999) and I understand the lyrics in a different way. Sadly this song isn't available for my country on Spotify anymore.
You can try to use vpn and this is so song from 2011
good news, it's available again in Germany
Example’s music brings back so much nostalgia from easier times
When example was at his prime.
Still listening to this now 2020 .what a banger
No smartphones, being a stupid teenager, getting busted on completely lost parties, in the middle of nowhere....those were the days.
The Example Is One Example For The Music 👏
This song speaks a deeper truth, thats exactly what has happened.
Wish I could like this twice
No wonder record companies tried to remove this song from other countries it's because he's spitting straight facts.
Example is always timeless music!
2023 anyone ?🎉 This songs still fire 🔥
God how I miss the days of this song. Take me back.
it’s 2023 and nothing has changed the way I listen to this song
Who’s cutting onions? 😭😭😭😭
im still here
How did he know
Who still listens to this banger in 2022?
Back in the day when I had hope and my feelings were sharp... :)
Example should of been so much bigger than this!!!💯💯 He's incredibly talented!
I LOVE the dubstep in here... it's not too strong to overwhelm the vocals but not too faint... so you can still hear it.... And he's in my top fav artists now....
It’s 2023 and I’ve just seen this on tiktok can’t believe I forgotten about this masterpiece 2011 was a prime year for music
Damn. Wish i could turn back time.
My dad put this on for me to see if I liked it when I was 4, I didn't only like it but I loved it, later on I didn't listen to it for a few years, but I remembered you 'Example' I searched it up, the first song I saw was this, because, when I was young I watched it so many times it was stuck at the top of the list. First listened in 2012, still listening in 2018 ❤❤💜💚
Dear future self: I regret nothing, I hope it has been kept that way.
KayNineLP so how's it gone?
KayNineLP Yeah how's it been?
KayNineLP how ya doing
How's it been then?
any update?
(Who is here in June 2022) Yous are legends 💯

I can't believe it took me almost 11 years to find this. I used to music like this all the time back then lol

Из - за 7дл, я переслушиваю это раз за разом.
Example always has the best songs
Still listening this and changed the way... in 2021
“ See you at the finish line, if you’ve got the heart to join us “ 👌🏼🤙🏼🎼🎧
music decorates time, time that passes us by so fast that makes our existence seem miniscule, and almost somewhat absurd. This is a track that will stand the test of time.
2015 and this song is still amazing
2016 and this is still amazing!
2017
FeadHit 2018 u nger
