lyrics

So
stand in line
take your turn
and waste your time
and you become
just another one
the future is set
before the race is run
it's not enough for me

So easy to lose what sets your soul alight
find what you believe in and then hold on tight

So don't let them
bring you down now
you can be anyone

6
days a week
you lie and steal
you beg and cheat
and on the 7th day
it all gets washed away
but these are only words
so easy to say
and they don't mean a thing

I cannot forget all that's been done before
I cannot accept the things that you ignore

You may choose a
version of truth
but your fooling no one

Take
all you can
and measure your success
by what is in your hand
but do you really win
when what is left within
is just an empty space
you had everything
and threw it all away

Materiality will only go so far
eventually you'll find out who you are

These excuses
it's so easy
to just blame everyone
