Under your thumb

You missed the train, it jumped the track

You didn't move on 'cause you were caught looking back

And now the cheese comes with the whine

Your opportunity ran out this time

Going back, and again

You built a case no one could defend

But before you let it all out

I think there's a truth you should think about

While you're on your island somewhere

You'll be what you're wanting to be

You'll see what you're wanting to see

Place blame for the things you'll become

But the truth is action's under your thumb

You'll live how you're wanting to live

You'll give what you're wanting to give

Hurt your friends 'til you end up with none

But the truth is action's under your thumb

It's easy to be so sincere

When you can't come to terms with anyone here

And place yourself above the rest

It's just the others who can't stand to the test

Giving up, giving in

Giving grief, getting under the skin

The sooner that you let go

How life will change more than you'll ever know

Life's what you do while thinking of the things that

you do.

Life's what you feel while thinking of the things that

you feel.

Life's what you know while thinking of the things that

you know.

Life's where you go while thinking of the places you'll

go.
