You never got it off on that revolution stuff
But me, I took that ride
'Cause something's got to change,
It won't be me,
Believe I've tried
It's a series of being on the verge
Almost
And barely missed
And every night I dream it gives the knife another twist
Na na na na-na na na na
Na-na na na
No
Every night I dream it gives the knife another twist
If you can make it through the morning
Then you can make it through the day
You can make it through the week, the month
How many years this way?
You work and save
And spend and slave
Your lifetime comes up bust
And every night I dream it gives the knife another thrust
The first time that I saw you
I was paralyzed
Standing right in front of me
My dreams materialized
The dream that gave you hope deceives
And lulls you down content
You wake up from your lifetime wondering where your lifetime went
Na na na na-na na na na
Na-na na na
No
You wake up from your lifetime wondering where your lifetime went
You have to numb your senses
To preserve your sanity
You have to dull your mind
To give your heart some room to breathe
It's a series of denials, shut-downs,
Turn-offs, and delays
The rat escapes the treadmill free to run loose in the maze
You never got it off on that revolution stuff
But me, I can't resist
And every night I dream it gives the knife another twist
Every night I dream it gives the knife another twist
