[Verse 1:] Think fast, Why do you believe we're on the Right track? Anyone can see it when they Look back, But tryin' to tell the future isn't quite so easy.
Zoom out, Everyone's so focused on the Right now, No one wants to take a chance on Somehow, The dreamers and the schemers They can both agree, No one's in between.
[Chorus:] Three, five, eight, ten, I can write this song again! Eighteen more times, I'm not running out of rhymes. Twenty more or forty-two, 'Til you finally see the truth: It's not me, it's you!
Easy, happy, light and fun, We can make the number one. Seven writers get a chunk, That's how modern music's done! Wonder why it's down on tubes? Guess you haven't heard the news: It's not me, it's you!
[Verse 2:] Come down, Try to take it back to when you First found Something worth believing in, your Heart pounds, Back when you were dreaming of the guts and glory.
Time's up, Smile and pack it in because I've Had enough. I'll wake up tomorrow, and you Know what? I'll be satisfied That I could write my story, Even glory-free.
[Chorus]
[Bridge:] Now, Don't turn around, We're all work-bound And not afraid of what we've found.
Then, In the end, We'll transcend, And not just pretend...
