Everybody's talking
Nobody listening
Stop your medication
And start believing
And dancing on the wheel
You can slow down quick

Stuck on the spot
And the spinning makes me sick
You can be a boxer
Waiting to command
You can be a substitute
Just waiting for that chance

The secret is no matter what
Be bold and work the plan
What good is self-destruction
Life is only but a glance

And don't let your life go by
And don't let your life go by

Everybody's running
Nobody's moving
And suspicion
Only mark improving
Circumstance not easy
Poor gas for a still

Start a revolution just
Refuse to take the pill
Life's a simulation
Don't believe
What you've been told
The only God is money
And the only truth is cold

Because each minute counts and love can rain again
Sheep lightning blinds your eyes as they pour it
Down the drain
And don't let your life go by
And don't let your life go by

Don't put your hands to the wall
Don't let them shoot you down baby
Don't put your hands to the wall no no no no
Head and walk tall
Don't let them shoot you down baby
To your down tall
