lyrics

Well he works to find redemption,
He gets to god by getting things done,
He never takes a holiday, he thinks it’s irresponsible
to waste his time on having fun.

He’s going nowhere, but he’s getting there fast

But he’s at the end of his tether,
He’s tugging at the chain,
He’s trying so hard, to keep it together
that he’s gonna make a big mistake

Yeah, he’s going nowhere, but he’s getting there fast
Well he’s fooling himself, but he’s not fooling us
And with a dose of compassion and a tablet of trust
perhaps we can innoculate him to this lust,
for nothing in the shape of everything...
A woah ho ho.

She’s looking for connection
She wants to find something real.
She’s got a thousand pairs of shoes, but she’s still got the blues
and all she knows is that she feels

like she’s going nowhere, but she’s getting there fast

She’s gonna hit all of the targets,
she’s been training for all her life,
but they’ve lost all their meaning, so it’s kind of demeaning:
that’s the sharp side of the knife

She’s going nowhere, but she’s getting there fast.

Well she’s fooling herself, but she’s not fooling us
and with a slice of compassion and a teaspoon of trust
perhaps we can convince her to discard this lust
for nothing in the shape of everything....
A woah ho ho

Well they’re mortgaged to the eyeballs
They’re leveraged to the neck
They’re running from the teeth of this monster they’ve created
that they can’t seem to keep in check

Yeah they’re going nowhere, but they’re getting there fast.

Well we’re fooling ourselves, ‘cause these people are us!
But with a world of compassion, and an ocean of trust,
We might even convince ourselves to lose this ridiculous lust,
for nothing in the shape of everything....
A woah ho ho
