Glass

We are going nowhere fast Are we made of glass? No one knows, no one knows Play out at the highest level Something never sung before Stalk by, human interaction Keep them in their corners We can start and turn off everything It's all the same, don't say I'll laugh again 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 pull out the rug The world would stop revolving? We can start and turn off everything It's all the same, don't say I'll laugh again 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 circle, going nowhere fast? 'Cause when you look at the man in the mirror He's made of nothing but glass You're never aware that mountains don't move themselves Tectonic plates 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 '70's But now you're taught to remain without will 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 before you digest has to change We're stressed and high, get depressed and 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?
