Everybody's trying to analyze and break you

Advertise and make you feel smaller, smaller

Trading all your youth for delusions of an encore

Running 'round the wheel's getting harder, harder

 

Nobody ever tells you how long it can take

Nobody ever mentions you might not get a break

So if you're wearing thin, careful don't waste your whole life waiting for it to begin

 

Up before the sunshine, rinse, repeat the pantomime

You grind and find the coal mine gets darker, darker

Making bread to stay fed but your head is merely mislead

But you're only left with crumbs and you're older, older

 

Nobody ever tells you how long it can take

Nobody ever mentions you might not get a break

So if you're wearing thing, careful don't waste your whole life waiting for it to begin

 

Find your love and ditch the rest

And who would've guessed life is more than house arrest?

So find your life and ditch the rest

Find your love and ditch the rest

 

If you're wearing thin, drowning under this mess you're in,

Careful don't waste your whole life waiting for it to begin
