about

We were just so mad at "the man", man. Know what I mean?

lyrics

Somewhere someone’s working hard
And someone’s hardly working
Somewhere someone’s happy to be alive

In this land of enterprise good taste is a burden
Leadership and shuttered eyes, following the herd and
Don’t be surprised if you’re not happy to be alive

Check statistics, know the facts, always be productive
Look ahead, forget the past, don’t live today
We must work for the future, but I say live while you’re alive

I will put no stock in modern myth
Won’t believe everything I see in print
I will blaze my own trail and enjoy the time I’ve been given
And I’ll let you know that I’m alive

Sacrifice to get ahead, believe that it’s worthwhile
Follow everywhere you’re led, go that extra mile
But the truth is all the things you’ve been told are lies

You will measure your success by the things you own
But what you drive and how you dress won’t change the fact you’re known
By a number, so have a drink and just survive

When everything you want is always out of reach
You work a little harder, try a little harder
Maybe someday you’ll open up your eyes and see
You can’t get any farther
Ask yourself why
