lyrics

Bright side of things
is even harder to see
today than any day
Who could use any optimism?
See, the Wheel just stopped
when we got so numerous
that its best for you to just adapt to a situation that abstract
Cuz they sure could use some weight reliefs
and it's clinically insane
to be moving on unsteady wheels

In 50 years the Wheel
had moved just about a quarter
enough to put some men on top
while where there should be six o'clock
what was left were the graves
to put some sense to the populace
That sense ceased the movement of the Wheel,
they set the bait but you made the deal
And it's been like that ever since
and the sound of decay will reach the top as a major B

We elect and back down,
we ourselves are incompetent...
Represent us but your party comes first
They can give you more,
they can ease your thirst,
for security but you never forget that
you're not 12 o'clock cuz you'd
never give the order for the death of a million
That's somebody else' s job...

That's somebody else' s job,
eat the weak to prey on most
To think that they control our world
and share their power with their whores

And so the burden stays with those
around the 2 to 5 and 7 to 10
no matter what their parents chose
their way of life will show if our world's at its end
And I'm not talking about a war
against the 12 o'clock to take their place
"Revolution" is just a phase
before decay of power knocks your door
Cuz in the end we all just stand and listen
trying not to forget we want our clocks in synch
Let's hope that we won't grow to forget about the rest
