Why We Need the Basecamp
Oh sometimes life has got its ways
Of tearing us apart, of breaking our hearts; yes it may
Sometimes your hero will let you down
Surrounded by monsters, vorpal sword on the ground
Sometimes the peak is just too steep a climb
We just gotta take our time
That's why we need, we need the basecamp

Oh sometimes love letters, they aren’t enough to court the king
Ain't no diamond ring or a rhyming song to sing
Sometimes we lie to be liked by our liberal friends
Just to better carry out all of our fascist plans
Sometimes we hurt the ones that we love
We learn to make amends
That's why we need, we need the basecamp

Sometimes the longest route is one most memorable
But often enough most regrettable too
Sometimes the captain goes up in his flying machine
But often enough down with his submarine
Sometimes our efforts do not make the cut
We still gotta try either way
Thats why we need, we need the basecamp
Sometimes the decks that we build, they just keep on falling apart
Like a house of cards on a windy afternoon
Sometimes the hand we’re dealt ain't gonna win us the game
What else can we do but just play it all the same
Sometimes the week is a little too rough
For us to waste the weekends away
Thats why we need, we need the basecamp
Thats why we need, we need the basecamp
