Run Run Run

There's a checklist of things to do
You've now scratched off four and boy doesn't it feel good
But you see the snag is not the theory
It's that you have penciled in twenty-seven more

Gotta get up and get it
No room to hesitate
Gotta push to make headway
If you wanna make a power play

Well you're gonna run, run, run
But there's a cost to operation
Those gears were meant to turn
But not in desperation

Can you smell burn, burn, burn
Friction as the gadgets turn
Don't ignore the maintenance plan
An engine neglected can't withstand

You've stayed up late done homework too
Studying success and just look how that's paid off
But you see the excess sure came at a price
You've lost your soul and look who you've had to cross

Gotta get up and get it
No room to hesitate
Gotta push to make headway
If you wanna make a power play

Well you're gonna run, run, run
But there's a cost to operation
Those gears were meant to turn
But not in desperation

Can you smell burn, burn, burn
Friction as the gadgets turn
Don't ignore the maintenance plan
An engine neglected can't withstand

If you don't have time for people and think friends are a demand
You'll morph into a creature a pathetic lonely grey old man
Crotchety's no way to be someone help save this young lad
There's time to change influence him put him on a better path

Well you're gonna run, run, run
But there's a cost to operation
Those gears were meant to turn
But not in desperation

Can you smell burn, burn, burn
Friction as the gadgets turn
Don't ignore the maintenance plan
An engine neglected can't withstand

Well you're gonna run, run, run, run
Through countless wrong turns
You've become aware and so informed
But there's still much for you to reform

You're gonna burn, burn, burn, burn
Through countless wrong turns
It's not the destination
It's the lessons you have learned
