Why do people live this way They shake all night and slave all day And get nothing They have nothing And when exactly where we sold That a good boy does just what he's told Why did you choose lead over gold When did we chose lead over gold And said take Anything you want But you never got a lot You never got a single with anything WAKE UP It's later than you know And you have to go Cause now it's time to punch the clock Now it's time to punch the clock Everyday and all brand new It's an endless rerun starring me and you We're just running in the wrong direction Monkeys fascinated by their own reflections A distant price The open doors reveal themselves as painted walls A way to keep the hunger up So we all run for the rabbit when the gate goes up Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up Take anything you want But got a lot You never got a single thing with anything Wake up It's later than you know and you have to go Cause now it's time to punch the clock Now it's time to punch the clock
