lyrics

Pound away, you bang that drum so well
Always keeping the things you want to to yourself
But if it’s all the same to you I say,
Find yourself a better way to get by

You walk in time to earn that one thin dime
Never taking the chance when opportunity rises
And you’re lost and hanging on a prayer
Looking for the reasons; they’re nowhere

(Chorus)
‘Cause everybody knows, and everybody shows you
What you’re missing
If only you’d listen, you’d see that
Change isn’t so bad--no it’s not so bad--
and sometimes it’s all you’ll have
When all the words become
so damn meaningless

Flash that smile, let ‘em see your foolish grin
Seems easier to keep them out than let them in
But isolation’s what you wanted, though
Breaking the pace is a noble goal
‘Cause it’s hollow living this gilded dream
Time for you to wake up—how long’s it been?

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
This world can be so ugly and cruel,
Life’ll teach you that with every wound.
But, there’s beauty lying deep within
You’ve just gotta find it when you’re on the mend
And then
every day can be the one
if you never forget
to rise above
And Never Be Like Those Who

Pound Away, because they bang that drum so well--
keeping the things they want to to themselves.
But if it’s all the same to you, I say,
you found yourself a better way to get by

‘Cause everybody knows,
Yeah everybody shows you what you’re missing
But now that you listen, you see
That change, it isn’t so bad--No, it’s not so bad--
and sometimes, it’s all you’ll have
when all the words become
So Damn Meaningless.
