lyrics

How many more times will it take for me to see
Im stuck here in traffic with the red tail lights staring back at me.
Everybody's leaving town except for you and me
Some going work some going to school
all depends on who you believe....and I say Ya.

These zombies angle position to see who does it best
Im nodding off in the back with my cards up against my chest
I'd like to think I'd score a little higher than all the rest
Then they ask me to stay behind and clean up all of their mess

You round and round never known what could found
You get caught in that crowd
you down down down til you hit the Ground

Outa the rain and down the stairs we cue up at the gate
some jokers holding up the line while rest of us scowl and wait
They treat you like dirt you got the sand to show up late
You know they got you by the throat when you feel your living's at stake.

You round and round never known what could found
You get caught up in the crowd
you down down down til you hit the Ground

Most mornings I wake up like I blundered through the wrong room
Like a salvation army band kinda old and outa tune
They spit you aside once the systems stole your youth
They never taught that in school they never bothered to tell us the truth

You round and round never known what could found
You get caught in that crowd
you down down down til you hit the Ground
