lyrics

how can i find the truth
when i can't even find a job?
we're too busy making things easier
to notice what we've lost
okay, okay
how can i sell myself
when i don't even know the cost?
we're too busy making things cheaper
to find out what we've lost
okay, okay
the elevator's waiting
but we're still on the ground floor
is it the door that keeps us out
or is it something more?
we've got a lot to do
but it's not shit, i know, i know
the endless loop repeating
while the elevator's waiting

Human dignity and self-respect cannot be constrained by the laws of nations
nor can they be destroyed by the soulless technology with which we surround ourselves
progress is just one more empty notion thrust upon us by this so-called society
while we drift further and further from the essence of a compassionate life
we think we've got the answer
but we've got to face reality
we've got it the wrong way around
invention is the mother of
necessity!
necessity!
well what do you need?
what do you really need?

they're not selling the product, it's the con
Edison knew this
selling an infrastructure, selling a need
one used to serve so many, now everyone's got their own
do you even know how hard it is to find a public telephone?
the clock outside the bank, the church bells in the square
we've cut the cord of community, but no one seems to care
how can i find the truth?
i'm just a human being being human
and I never did like elevators. I'd rather take the stairs.
