lyrics

It started as a bet
Just a dare
Just to try something stupid
To take it international and try out selling our music
“You know you say you’re passionate
And it’s about high time you prove it.”
I said, “I got eight hundred bucks”
He said, “Yeah, man. That oughta do it.”

Pack your bags, we’re taking off
On a path one-way to Warsaw
If we can’t make back the cost, I guess we’ll stay a while

(New kids on the Eastern Bloc)

Call up the boss, quit the job
Told him I’ve got a calling
Push all the chips out into the middle
Because baby, I’m going all in
And if we fall on our face on the way
Then we’ll pick up the pieces
Because when opportunity knocks, you’ve gotta take it or leave it

Pack your bags, we’re taking off
On a path one-way to Warsaw
If we can’t make back the cost, then we’ll improvise
Drive our nails into the walls
Take a chance on fame and fortune
Pack your bags, we’re taking off
We might not come back at all

Gonna drown myself in the sounds and the pictures
When you lose your head, you might learn a thing or two
(Nie mówię po polsku)
Yeah, you do
Look out, we’re coming through

You get one chance in your time
To be something more important
And if we get our tonight
We’re gonna do it right
