lyrics

i didn't know it
when the alarm rang
because the big screen
was still flickering
when i realized
i'd like to live the life of another

and as the crowd spread
the noose tightened on my wrist
demanding tasks to relate
and realize that i will only die

i couldn't see it, i couldn't spell it
it's just too hard
it gets me thinking what i should recognize
i'd like to live the life of another

corrugated, flattened and drained out
mutilated, 'til i heard that voice that called out to me

it said no job is equal

i couldn't see it, the way they sang it to me
i was so sick of the way they lied
i could remember my dreams as they
trampled on my eyes
the life we envy aims to destroy our hopes

corrugated, flattened and drained out
mutilated, but the singing went on and on

it said no job is equal

and i keep a box with drawings from a childhood past
so crudely drawn, but they mean well
policeman, astronaut
some hopes, some dreams concur in silence
that they face no future
trust in faith will neutralize the spell
