glass lyrics

We are going nowhere fast

Are we made of glass?

No one knows, no one knows

Played out at the highest levels

On their leather sofas

Stop all human interaction

Keep them in their comas

Make a start and turn off everything

It's only then you'll see your life begin.

Save me

Oh, come on and save me

From this world

Tell me

'Cause I need to know

I'm not alone

We are taught to watch the puppets

Not the hands controlling

Do you think if we pulled out the rug

The world would stop revolving?

Make a start and turn off everything

It's only then you'll see your life begin.

Save me

Oh, come on and save me

From this world

Save me

Oh, come on and save me

From this world

Tell me

'Cause I need to know

I'm not alone

We are going nowhere fast

Are we made of glass?

No one knows, no one knows

A wise man told me that we are born with wings

But never taught to fly

Doesn't that make you wonder why

Is it to prevent us from falling out of the sky

Or is it to stop us from soaring too high

So let me ask you this

Are you running around in a cycle

Going nowhere fast

'Cause when you look at the man in the mirror

Is he made of nothing but glass

Were you never aware that mountains don't move themselves

Tectonic plates take something to make them shift

That all it took was a staff to part the Red Sea

All it took was a bus to Montgomery

A single woman who refused to give up her seat

We fought an entire army with a bouquet of flowers back in the Seventies

But now you're taught to remain a hamster on a wheel until you run out of energy

Afraid that if you strive for an ideal you end up like a Kennedy

It's like being on a treadmill every day but never losing any weight

'Cause to see success the food-for-thought you digest has to change

We're stressed then high

Get depressed then die

But still afraid to question why

One of the biggest criminals I ever met wore a suit and tie

When did we stop believing?

When did we stop marching?

When did we stop chanting?
