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 a flick of a switch
how long will they wait no
there must be something wrong boys
yeah
there must be something wrong boys

Obnoxious actions
(?)
teachers who refuse to be taught
distorted pictures and dizzy dizzy people
rush by me at the speed of thought
they're sitting at tables and 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
yeah
there must be something wrong boys
there must be something wrong boys

they're dragging me down

(Instrumental)

eden
there's no eden
anyway

they're sitting at tables and 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
yeah
there must be something wrong boys
there must be something wrong boys

they're dragging me down
and they're dragging me down
and they're dragging me down

you either swim or you drown
