Machines Driving Cars

When I am alone I get to start thinking About times long ago, but i've nothing to show And where is it really that young man is going? Over the fields, where thoughts become real But maybe there's something much more to just 'living' We're all in a mess, Just working for debts And tasting the freedom is more than rewarding Some might protest, I prefer to just guess So lets take the train but don't lose your thought I de-railed the thing, It does happen a lot In another five years, maybe reserve my spot But that was just something you said To get yourself out of my hemorrhaging head When I am alone I get to start thinking Have I been here before, I can't just shut the door Because nobody plans to have what it's throwing It's simply how I was raised, the god won't be praised Everything I've ever done was my knowing The consequence matters, embracing cadavers So why did i let you control who I'm telling Our lives would be different, if we only had listened So lets ride the current and live like were taught Lose all control, let our float hit the dock Thoughts of next month flutter out through the lock I destroyed everything once again Became something weaker than i've ever been And it's sad It's sad It's sad It's sad Now we just live day to day Hoping to win the lottery Still, we just breathe the same old way And we turn out hate in factories
