day breaks the same for the expressionless open
the gates at a stand still routine media dreams,
no reality pressure eager to be recognized
fighting for promotion

no time for rest no

next door no contact impersonal glance afraid to
go out learn to isolate companionship through
classifieds a desperate attempt to put a name on
the face

no time for companionship no

ego knows you want ego knows you'll take it

inconvenience a nightmare never ending race four
wheels, pavement ego, poor health hands of greed
grab whatever they can take eager to materialize
fighting for a piece

no time for rest no

rise

when it happens friend no, don't let them break
you

rise

no matter what they say no, don't let them break
you
