All our lives we've dreamed about it Just to find that it was never real This sure ain't no great Valhalla Coming closer each turn of the wheel Forlorn adrift on seas of beige In this our Golden Age Bullied suckered pimped and patronized Every day your tawdry little lives So loose your head And step within The silence deafening Now you saw it coming And I saw it coming We all saw it coming But we still bought it Now you saw it coming And I saw it coming but still Running full steam ahead In and out of consciousness It breaks my heart to see you like this Crying wringing hands and cursing fate Always so little far too late It's 3am I'm wide awake There's still one call to make Now you saw it coming And I saw it coming We all saw it coming But we still bought it Now you saw it coming And I saw it coming We all saw it coming But we still bought it Running full steam ahead Running full steam ahead Running full steam Now you saw it coming And I saw it coming and I Running full steam Now you And I We all saw it coming But we still bought it We all saw it coming But we Still bought it
