in the white noise of everything i heard voices still tryin to sing who were they what d they say what was lost was it worth all the fuss of it i don t know maybe so we stole the light from there eyes while it was still just a spark oh and we mined it for what it was worth wasn t much wasn t much find another pair of lights cause no machine is ever free you had a fixed bullet proof sort of world view now it s bent it s bent it s bent you used to say you know exactly where you re off to now you can t you can t you can t you make your mark in everything cause you don t know where you are you ve been swearin up and down you knew your way but now you re back at the start  so you shed your former shell for a new one and find the appropriate dress dazzle anyone who listens with those big words but know that they re meaningless you need them all to know your name cause you don t know who you are you ve been swearing up and down you know your way but now you re back at the start don t feel bad you re like the rest of us time moves on and we realize we re all strangers nothing bindin us now except our habits and scowls and our off hand nitpicks oh we try to close our books and put an end to endless chapters but then wake up the same bear our teeth and complain and then do it all again but no that s not me not this time i won t fall into line i m gonna cut a different path if it kills me no i m not sold i won t roll with the punches again i d rather take a couple hits than lay back on this one ahh ooo ooo ooo ahh ooo o oo ooo o oo ooo we make our mark in everything cause we don t know where we are we re always swearing up and down we know the way but wind up back at the start and in hindsight it s all circular
