Up the Down Escalator

I'm gazing at faces

Staring blankly at me

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

Now they can erase us

At the flick of a switch

How long will they wait

No!

There must be something wrong boys

Obnoxious actions

Obnoxious results

Teachers who refuse to be taught

Distorted pictures

And dizzy, dizzy people

Rush by me at the speed of thought

Sitting at tables

And throwing the scraps

For Christ's' sake leave them something

Now they can erase us

At the flick of a switch

Will they hesitate

No!

There must be something wrong boys

They're dragging me down

Eden

There's no Eden, anyway.

They're dragging me down

You either swim or you drown
