Up Down The Escalator

I'm gazing at faces staring blankly at me
Oh, 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
If I could freeze time at the flick of a switch
I wouldn't hesitate

No there must be something wrong boys
Yeah, there must be something wrong boys

Obnoxious actions
Obnoxious results
Yeah, from teachers who refuse to be taught
Distorted pictures
And dizzy, dizzy people
Rush by me at the speed of thought
They sit at their tables
An throw us their scraps
For christ's sake leave me something
So now they can erase you at the flick of a switch
How longer must we wait

Oh, there must be something wrong boys
Yeah, there must be something wrong boys
There must be something wrong boys
They're dragging me down

Eden
There's no Eden
Anyway
They sit at their tables
And throw us their scraps
For christ's sake leave us something
So now they can erase you at the flick of a switch
How longer must we wait

Oh, there must be something wrong boys
Yeah, there must be something wrong boys
There must be something wrong boys
They're dragging me down

They're dragging me down
And they're dragging me down

And they're dragging me down

You either swim or you drown
