I sidestep to get through the day
not sidestepping is one way to
confrontation and sometimes
even I make a stand.

rush push rush and push
everyone's in a hurry
but where they are going
is a mystery

maybe the cemetery
probably this century

there is no queueing
on the road to ruin
and there's no need
to rush,
you'll get there eventually
and maybe this century

turn right at the crossroads
and follow the crowd.
