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
