Up The Down Escalator

I'm gazing at faces
 Staring blankly at me
 I suppose it's just a sign of the times
 They tell me tomorrow will never arrive
 But I've seen it end a million times
 I lost my direction while dodging the flak
 Oh give me a hint or something
 Now they can erase us
 At the flick of a switch
 How long will they wait
 No!
 There must be something wrong boys
 Obnoxious actions
 Obnoxious results
 Teachers who refuse to be taught
 Distorted pictures
 And dizzy, dizzy people
 Rush by me at the speed of thought
 Sitting at tables
 And throwing the scraps
 For Christ's' sake leave them something
 Now they can erase us
 At the flick of a switch
 Will they hesitate
 No!
 There must be something wrong boys
 They're dragging me down
 Eden
 There's no Eden, anyway.
 They're dragging me down
 You either swim or you drown
