Don't stop
Don't slow down
Have to keep going
Have to keep up
With the rat race

Don't stop
Don't pause
Don't think
Too hard
Or you'll run out

Listen
To what they say
Do
What they say
Because it's good for you
Do
What they say
Because they're right
They say
Because they care
They talk
Because they care
They lecture
Because it's good for you
Because it's good for you
Good for you,
Good for me.
Is it good for me?
Are you good for me?
I'm
Not
Good
For me.

Drink more
Smoke more
Talk more
Listen less

Maybe
When I'm tired
I'll stop
Maybe
When I'm hungry
I'll stop
Maybe
When I die
I'll stop

Maybe
When I
Run out of fuel,

I'll . . . .
