[Verse 1]
He was down on the floor with his lips to a glass
Said he dreamed of a future that won't come to pass
That he once strived to excel in a world so vast
But why run a race when it's rigged and he's fixed in last
Then he mused all of life is a joke and he laughed
That it is what it is, and he's thankful for all that he has
I said, "Well let me just pose one question and ask
If you just want what you have, then why are you sad?"
[Chorus]
If you want to fight
Then why are you running?
If everything is fine for you
Why are you stumbling?
So silent
[Verse 2]
She was tripping on something that was laced in her tea
And she was high as a kite when she said she could see
Said, "We in the land of the free, but no freedom grows
And if we in a brave new world, where'd the brave all go?"
I said, "Hell if I know"
Then she told me that the problem is society
Everybody crippled by anxiety
No one is the person that they try to be
Then she said, "What we need are a few with a view that can bring a change through"
That we need less talk and more do
So I said to her, "What about you?"
He was down on the floor with his lips to a glass
Said he dreamed of a future that won't come to pass
That he once strived to excel in a world so vast
But why run a race when it's rigged and he's fixed in last
Then he mused all of life is a joke and he laughed
That it is what it is, and he's thankful for all that he has
I said, "Well let me just pose one question and ask
If you just want what you have, then why are you sad?"
[Chorus]
If you want to fight
Then why are you running?
If everything is fine for you
Why are you stumbling?
So silent
