A couple days
Of living and dying
Some of'em better, and some just go by

I bet you just can't wait
To get in that can
Just grab a pole and get on

But deep inside you know what is going on
It wears you down to the bone

You get your paycheck and you hurry home again
You see no way out, just more of the same

Some days I just feel like
Sitting by the lake
Where does that lead me? Wish I had a clue

I'm always trying to hide
All of my contempt
My friends can feel it though, I fool nobody else

But deep inside you know it's happening again
It wears you down to no end

Unhealthy lunches and you hurry home again
You see no way out, just more of the same

Turn yourself on, tune in and drop out
Indulge thyself
This time I want to be like everybody else
Exhortation
