Welcome to the existential rollercoaster / You’re sometimes the bread, sometimes the toaster / Every day lived is a lesson learned / It's an everyday thing getting your fingers burned / You can't wrap your self up in cotton wool / Or else you'll never live life to the full / So bring on the scuffed knees and broken dreams / THOSE Loves lived and lost coast off downstream / If you've lost your paddle while your up shit creek / You can't miss the grime trying to find your feet / It's an everyday thing getting dirty hands / grubby fingerprints on your best laid plans / We all need the hard times to tip the scales / Before THAT hot zephyr fills up the sails / And lifts you even higher when the pendulum swings / it all evens out in the scheme of things

CAN’T GET BY WITH NO PAIN / TELLING YOU IT’S NO GAME / DON’T YOU FEEL NO, DON’T YOU FEEL NO SHAME

Push past thAT game show and expose the Wizard of Oz / A grinning sly face like a grizzly fox / Surrounded by machinery, the whizzing of cogs / As armies of lackeys sip hair of the dog / Got you jumping like frogs, so dont fall of the log / Cos it's dirty and sticky in that squabbling bog / With the twin certitudes, death and taxes / One life, live it, with the scrapes and scratches / Day one, they punch your card / Then your tagged, weighed and measures for statistical charts / ID'd, processed, put on the list / out the door ready with a tag on the wrist / Day two, they send you off to school /
Where you learn to play nice and to follow the rules / And everything you got not fitting the mould / Is shaved off or squashed till you do as your told

[CHORUS]

So humans here we go, your own truman show / When you're monitored and measured by who? We don't know / Clandestine overlords in corporate bunkers / Watch the live feed and count up the numbers / Rack the stacks, while balloon heads slumber / Panopticon watching on cool as cucumbers / Wealth is hoarded, foes waterboarded / Theft's applauded, whole countries defrauded / Then sell it back with profits rewarded / And we dug deep and even paid for it / Do you abhor it? Choose to ignore it? / Mesmerised by media recordings / Billboards of of aspirational porn kings / Selling a lifestyle that noones affording / Deeper in debt, no net, free falling / Calling for THAT lifeline no time for stalling

[CHORUS]
