One, two, three, four
I was hoping we'd make real progress
But it seems we have lost the power
Any tiny step of advancement
Is like a raindrop falling into the ocean
We're running on the spot, always have, always will
We're just the next generation of the emotionally crippled
Though we keep piling up the building blocks
The structure never seems to get any higher
'Cause we keep kicking out the foundations
And stand useless while our lives fall down
I believe in life and I believe in love
But the world in which I live in
Keeps trying to prove me wrong
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
(Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
(Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba
Out in the pastures we call society
You can't see further than the bottom of your glass
Only young but easily shocked
You get all violent when the boat gets rocked
Is this the meaning of this world?
It's just all running on the
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
(Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
(Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba
Just like sheep, little lambs into the slaughter
Don't fully grasp why exactly it is wrong
Truth is you never cared, still
It gets all violent when the boat gets rocked
Intelligence should be our first weapon
And stop revelling in rejection
And follow yourselves, not some ageing drain brain
Whose quite content to go on feeding you garbage
We're running on the spot, always have, always will
We're just the next generation of the emotionally crippled
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
(Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
It's just like running on the spot
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
(Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
It's just like running on the spot
(Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
(Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
(Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
It's just like running on the spot
(Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
(Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
It's just like running on the spot
(Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
(Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
It's just like running on the spot
