Going Through the Motions
Once I was excited
Now my spirit is blighted
Twice I've been cheated
Knocked down and defeated
I used to be a ruthless assassin
I was once filled with passion
Now I've fallen so out of fashion
That I don't even care
I'm going through the motions
It's a sad state of affairs
Going through the motions
It's too much to bear
How did I wind up here?
When did things get so severe?
Why did all my cares disappear?
What can I do to make myself see clear?
Maybe I've got to get up and get out of the house
I know I've got to stop bumming about
Maybe I've got to stand up and shout
For motivation
I'm going through the motions
It's a sad state of affairs
Going through the motions
It's too much to bear
Going through the motions
Sleepwalking through life
Going through the motions
Don't believe the hype
I'm going through the motions
Struggling to survive
Going through the motions
Just trying to get by
Going through the motions
Not feeling anything
Going through the motions
In the midst of a downswing
Going through the motions
Exiled on Main Street
Going through the motions
Rinse and repeat
I'm going through the motions
It's a sad state of affairs
Going through the motions
It's too much to bear
Now my spirit is blighted
Twice I've been cheated
Knocked down and defeated
I used to be a ruthless assassin
I was once filled with passion
Now I've fallen so out of fashion
That I don't even care
I'm going through the motions
It's a sad state of affairs
Going through the motions
It's too much to bear
How did I wind up here?
When did things get so severe?
Why did all my cares disappear?
What can I do to make myself see clear?
Maybe I've got to get up and get out of the house
I know I've got to stop bumming about
Maybe I've got to stand up and shout
For motivation
I'm going through the motions
It's a sad state of affairs
Going through the motions
It's too much to bear
Going through the motions
Sleepwalking through life
Going through the motions
Don't believe the hype
I'm going through the motions
Struggling to survive
Going through the motions
Just trying to get by
Going through the motions
Not feeling anything
Going through the motions
In the midst of a downswing
Going through the motions
Exiled on Main Street
Going through the motions
Rinse and repeat
I'm going through the motions
It's a sad state of affairs
Going through the motions
It's too much to bear
