Up the Down Escalator Lyrics

I'm gazing at faces staring blankly at me
Oh, 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 dodging the flak
Oh, give me a hint or something
If I could freeze time at the flick of a switch
I wouldn’t hesitate
No!
There must be something wrong boys
Yeah, there must be something wrong boys
Obnoxious actions, obnoxious results
Yes, teachers who refuse to be taught
Distorted pictures and dizzy, dizzy people
Rush by me at the speed of thought

They sit at the tables and throw us the scraps
For Christ's' sake leave me something
Now they can erase you at the flick of a switch
There must be a way
Oh, there must be something wrong boys
Yeah, there must be something wrong boys
There must be something wrong boys
They're dragging me down
Eden
There's no Eden, anyway
They sit at the tables and throw us the scraps
For Christ's sake, leave us something
Now they can erase you at the flick of a switch
How long will it take?
No, there must be something wrong, boys
Yeah, there must be something wrong, boys
There must be something wrong, boys
And they're dragging me down
And they're dragging me down
And they're dragging me down
You either swim or you drown
