Take A Number

Look into the eyes of the lucky incarnate

Believing that your life is worth a shit

It's quite plain to see that your life has no purpose

It's tearing you up inside

You want all the answers you won't ask the questions

But that's not how life is fought

Believe when they say there's no end to the madness

But throw out all that you've been taught

Take a number

And don't ask questions now

So up on your feet over twelve hours a day

To fill up the gap between nothing and no one

You're famous for all of your eloquent shit

But no one remembers your name

The world is all sunny when you get your pay cheque

And then it all slips right away

With all the promotion it doesn't seem worth it

For your fifteen minutes of fame

The choice wasn't hard between living and dying

To see our dreams succeed

You wanted a real loud voice

To be heard by all your friends

It's just so predictable

Believe me when I say

You don't need any help

To come to a fashionable end
