Modern Times

You can't judge a book by its cover
I feel like my head is underwater
I look around as I gasp for air
And then I realize that no one cares
'Cause why should they even bother?

Fire on all cylinders today
Before your opportunity fades away
So you start them young and you start them quick
You teach them to parrot, not to think
'Cause then you know where they'll stay

I think I lost my mind
It happens all the time
I hope someday I will find
A way to waste my time

Now come on in and trade your life away
The position's only good today
It's what you want, it's what you need
We're gonna make you sweat, we're gonna make you bleed
'Cause you're working for your pay

Everybody's hurting one another
Turn yourself and fire that on your brother
Chase yourself, they made you hate yourself
But you gotta place yourself where you can face yourself
'Cause there isn't any other

I think I lost my mind
It happens all the time
I hope someday I will find
A way to waste my time

In my head, in my head, in my head, in my head
Everything, everything that you ever said
In my mind, in my mind, in my mind, in my mind
Everything that has ever crossed my eyes

I think I lost my mind
It happens all the time
I hope someday I will find
A way to waste my time
