lyrics

There are holes in the stairs, so no guarantees
We often fall down, back to the neon lobbies
Where we start up again, single-filing
The joy of the thing; the joy in being
Overwhelmed; oh, well

There are holes in our stares; we don vacant expressions
They lure each of us into complacent oppression
And the information keeps on piling
Oh, the joy of the thing; the joy in being
Overwhelmed; oh, well

Name your price; I'm not gonna bite
You can push me if you wanna
A plague on both your karma and soul
Enveloped in your pride
And I can't say that I blame you
A mold of those who shaped you, I know
But there's plenty to go around
If we each take the same portion
And keep things in proportion
But no, you want it to yourself
Hello! You can't have it to yourself anymore

More and more and more and more...
Overwhelmed; oh, well
