Up the Down Escalator

I'm gazin' at faces starin' blankly at me

I suppose it's just a sign of the times

They tell me tomorrow will never arrive

But I've seen it end a million times

I lost my direction while dodgin' the flack

Oh, give me a hint or something

If I could resign at the flick of a switch

I won't hesitate

No, there must be something wrong, boys

Yeah, there must be something wrong, boys

Obnoxious actions, obnoxious results

Yes, and teachers who refuse to be taught

Distorted pictures

And dizzy, dizzy people

Rush by me at the speed of thought

I sit at the table, and throw us the scraps

For Christ sake, leave me something

Well now they gon' erase you at the flick of a switch

On the massive wave

Oh, there must be something wrong, boys

Yeah, there must be something wrong, boys

There must be something wrong, boys

They're draggin' me down

Eden, there's no Eden

Any way

They sit at the tables, and throw us the scraps

For Christ sake, leave us something

Well now they gon' erase you at the flick of a switch

How long will it take?

Oh, there must be something wrong, boys

Yeah, there must be something wrong, boys

There must be something wrong, boys

They're draggin' me down

And they're draggin' me down

And they're draggin' me down

You either swim or you drown
