|
we are common |
|
more than we think |
|
and so unique |
|
to whoever's behind the eyes |
|
we're the zeros |
|
behind the billions |
|
assigned numbers |
|
so specific |
|
wake up before the sun |
|
leave your hour |
|
to the highway |
|
and your day to |
|
line the pockets |
|
of some man with |
|
the softest hands |
|
sometimes i think |
|
that it's all a |
|
sick joke on |
|
the middle class |
|
keep on pushing, pushing, pushing |
|
keep your head down |
|
and your number, your numbers up |
|
i swear on my checkbook you'll be up here soon |
|
we're all counting on, counting on you |
|
put your time in |
|
and time again |
|
spend your weekends |
|
finishing dead ends |
|
years go by |
|
xeroxed days of |
|
exchanging your life |
|
for a paycheck |
|
sometimes i think |
|
that it's all a |
|
sick joke on |
|
the middle class |
|
keep on pushing, pushing, pushing |
|
keep your head down |
|
and your number, your numbers up |
|
keep your numbers up |
|
keep on pushing, pushing, pushing |
|
keep your head down |
|
and your number, your numbers up |
|
i swear on my checkbook you'll be up here soon |
|
we're all counting on, counting on you |
