lyrics

Tell me what happened
To what we had
When did the water go bad
When did the clouds roll back

What was the matter
With the way it was
We had the world in our hands
I guess it wasn’t enough

What was the issue with simplicity
We keep on breeding convenience
They’re expanding their factories

It’s a strange way we’re living these days
Life gets smaller and the man gets paid
It’s a complicated thing they say
So just keep greasing the chain
Everything will be okay

When can I see the sun again
Should I ask your permission
To leave my own front porch

How dare you ask them for your freedom man
Don’t you know that’s a joke
Turn back and stay the course

You know you’ve got a lot of nerve
Talking out of turn
Speak louder than the head of the house
And you’ll burn

It’s a strange way we’re living these days
Life gets smaller and the man gets paid
It’s a complicated thing they say
So just keep greasing the chain
Everything will be okay

And all the precious things that you bring
Start flushing them down the drain
All the precious things that you bring
Start flushing them down the drain

It’s a strange way we’re living these days
Life gets smaller and the man gets paid
It’s a complicated thing they say
So just keep greasing the chain
Everything will be okay
