Stress |
(watching corners and crossing watching all the red lights watching the |
stress watching beggars and bankers and rushing cars I’m drowning in this |
mess) Help me! |
Rescue me! |
Save me! |
Set me free! |
(watching all the stress) |
It is strange — among all people I feel alone. |
Very strange — despite the |
sun I’m cold to the bone! |
If this is progress let me out! |
Up on the rooftops I feel alive — lovely detached from the human hive. |
Up on the rooftops I feel so free. |
Far from the city that’s suffocating me. |
(watching corners and |
crossings watching all the red lights watching the stress watching |
beggars and bankers and rushing cars I’m drowning in this mess) IS THIS |
WHAT WE WANT? |
I believe: beneath the surface we turn to stone. |
Can’t you see? |
You meet your neighbors over the phone! |
I’m awake — watch me! |
I’ll escape — watch me! |
If this is progress help me to regress! |
Alone by the ocean I feel alive — lovely detached from the human hive. |
Alone by the ocean I feel so free. |
Far from the city that’s suffocating me. |
YOU live too shallow act too deep! |
Fail to sow but proudly reap! |
…and you still need MORE! |
Indians show us where you’re from |
STRESS indicates what we’ll all become! |
In time you’ll awake! |
In time you’ll escape! |
In time you’ll awake! |
You’ll see what’s at stake! |
IS THIS WHAT WE WANT? |
…is this what we NEED? |
