We're all running just as fast as we can To beat each other to the promised land You make a living trying to work off your blues, while They're spending billions just to buy and sell you your life But the man in the back just smiles All is well You're holding out for the light beyond the tunnel Pouring out your soul into a funnel Looking around for a path to follow You won't find it if you're looking for tomorrow It's today, and the man in the back he just smiles The man says this, The man says that The man sits in the chair, then the man he gets fat Everybody comes up and sees Everybody comes up and says We're gonna change it now But today is the day If anything you ever said was important to anyone Wouldn't there be someone listening now If anything you ever said made a difference to anyone Wouldn't there be someone feeling it now When you say thats not fair Don't think that they care We're all running just as fast as we can To get a piece of anything that we can Everybody's just trying to get by Everybody's just trying to stay high While the man in the back just smiles All is well Everybody's got to raise their voice Everybody's got to make a choice The man says he's got to have more worth So we stink up the sky and we f** up the earth
