Verse 1:
You're disruptive and sad
You're quick to the cut
Day by day
You stand hill top high
And scream to those below
Take a glance up above
Every thing's ahead
Men to men alike
Nobody asked you
Nobody wants you
Everybody's a reject
Every thing's a joke
Laughing so taboo
Dropping dead off hand
Missiles raining
Exploding uninvited
You're a passed man
You aren't useful to me anymore.
Chorus:
When things glow
You take a step back
When steps crack
You fall on through
When friends collapse
You drop to your knees
When the world crumbles
You rise to your feet
Your life never got on paper
Your voice never got on tape
After fifty years of nothing
You completely lost your appeal.
Verse 2:
Follow through
It's new to you
A lot to learn,
It's all you've got
A string and a clip
A stick with a tip
Where've you gotten to?
Atop the skies
Falling down mountains
Blood keeps tumbling
Teeth keep grinding
Where's the progress?
Where are my results?
We're not so alike
It's taken me some time
and last I've stolen mine
Yet how can I define
that I'd follow a bass line
'Til the end of time
If it sounded just right.
Chorus -- Solo/Variation
Mini-Verse:
Century man
Stuck in the sand
It's a little late
To get your story down
No regrets
Just disgrace
I'll leave you be
I'm not interested in you.
Chorus Variation:
When men glow
You take a step away
When a person cracks
You run for your life
When family collapses
You drop to your gut
When the world explodes
You become nothing
Your life never got on paper
Your voice never got on tape
After fifty years of nothing
You completely lost yourself.
End.
