from the "Minority Of One" lp. Music by Brian Baker, lyrics by Dave Smalley and Colin Sears.
He looks back to the days when the
lyrics and chords meant everything
these days he stares at the screen so
complacent and without dreams
change, but he can't hide it - that's
the story of an average man
he needs goods and services for which he
pays a premium
just a display for his neighbors
dot-comers who earned a fortune
change, but we can't hide it - that's
the story of an average man
take us to our cubicles today
and it's the hell we make o.k.
nobody cares, nobody cares, no one cares
about the average man
burnt toast at 6 a.m. it's not gourmet,
but it's adequate
waste away precious hours in front of
the flat screen monitor
change, but you can't hide it - that's
the story of an average man
take us to our cubicles today
and it's the hell we make o.k.
nobody cares, nobody cares, no one cares
about the average man
just when you think you've got
everything you've got nothing at all
take us to our cubicles today
take us to our cubicles today
take us to the hell we made
take us to the hell we made
can we escape? can we escape?
how can we escape the hell we've made?
can we escape? can we escape?
