Goin' through the motions of life
Buy a car, buy a house, then ya get a wife
To make that dough, you gotta get a job
Better work your way up till your at the top
Stock options, 401K
Everything you earn you gotta put away
Unquestioning day to day
How'd we get so lost along the way?
Driftin' out and away
Sluggin' by we don't ask why
Losin' touch with each passin day
We can fight so why do we fly
To break free of this path we're on
Means abandoning the overmind
Standin' up to tell them they're wrong
Takin' control these are our lives
Structures too strong guide the way
We have an important role to play
Feeding these corporate machines
And no one takes a minute to ask what it all means
Cause when we say we're wonderin' why
They retort "it's what you need to get by"
So all's we can do is try
All's we can try is to live a lie
