Would you believe What I said if I shoved it down your throat? How unusual the lettered backdrop Do you wonder where you are The meaning of the words? Push the plunger, say good-bye Consent to manufacture, a brand new opposition It's starting right now Up and down we spend in all conditions For many years I played the fool Looked so deep inside that we can't see Much too bored to look for Touch the surface flow and ebb With nowhere left to go If I could only live like this Ideal in its birth, a drunk bewildered herd Follow the leader, come pin the tail Caught in misdirection, our spectacle distracts And it's just the right time Up and down we spend in all conditions For many years I played the fool Looked so deep inside that we can't see Much too bored to look for We always say it, we never mean it If that's enough if that's enough That's the way it looks and no one's asking why It's the right time but we don't have the time Keep it locked down It's only what your heart would say We're barely living through it, we're just surviving I'm so sick of surviving Up and down we spend in all conditions For many years I played the fool But if it's out for deception and still playing cool Like a piece of the puzzle We're so quick to salute it now Much too bored to look for We didn't say it, we never needed it If that's enough If that's enough It's the way we look and no one's asking why It's the right right time but we don't have the time Keep it locked down ignoring What your heart would say We're barely living through it, too scared to do it We didn't say it, we never needed it If that's enough If that's enough It's the way we look and no one's asking why It's the right right time but we don't have the time Keep it locked down ignoring What your heart would say We're barely living through it, too scared to do it We're so sick of surviving So sick of surviving
