Everyday we run around and get the most out of our time
And every time we try and get ahead of it we fall behind
And any time we try and grab a hold of it, it slips away
One more day
And if we try to leave it all behind us it just comes our way
Once again

Take a step forward
Take two steps back
Bend over backwards
And cut yourself in half

Do almost everything they’re telling you to do
Say almost anything you know it isn’t true

Isn’t true, Isn’t true, Isn’t true,
You know it isn’t
True, Isn’t true, Isn’t true,
You know it isn’t
True, Isn’t true, Isn’t true,
You know it isn’t
True, Isn’t true, Isn’t true,
You know it isn’t true

Every morning you wake up and you go to work just like machines
Doing your thing
You’re just sleep walking, your heads are in the clouds, you’re living in a dream
In your dreams
The television and the politician they don’t mean a thing to me
Not a thing
And your religion and the inquisition never get me to believe
In anything

Take a step forward
Take two steps back
Bend over backwards
And cut yourself in half

Do almost everything they’re telling you to do
Buy almost anything they’re selling it to you
