To live between a rock and a hard place In between time Cruising in prime time Soaking up the cathode rays
To live between the wars in our time Living in real time Holding the good time Holding on to yesterdays
You know how that rabbit feels Going under your speeding wheels Bright images flashing by Like windshields towards a fly Frozen in the fatal climb But the wheels of time Just pass you by Wheels can take you around Wheels can cut you down We can go from boom to bust From dreams to a bowl of dust We can fall from rockets' red glare Down to "Brother can you spare..." Another war Another wasteland And another lost generation
It slips between your hands like water This living in real time A dizzying lifetime Reeling by on celluloid
Struck between the eyes By the big-time world Walking uneasy streets Hiding beneath the sheets Got to try and fill the void
