Intro: (Heath Ledger as The Joker in The Dark Knight)
"Does it depress you commissioner, to know, just how alone you really are?"
Chorus: (Gary Jules)
"All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere
Going nowhere."
1st Verse: (hellboy707)
"Rats in a rat race, excited by the smell of cheese
Fighting over scraps and the leftover pelt of meat
Money through the back and front of a self-help machine
Soul in the raps and the stories that I tell the beat
I write songs beyond the white and the black
My words burn through the page when I'm writing a rap
They love the sound of a lie, but they hide from the facts
Work your days away, pretend your life isn't crap
I need a break from this shit cause it's stressing me out
I asked god for the answers but he's letting me down
Day or night, late or early for jobs to acquire bucks
But it'll never have paid enough, when your times up
I'm awake, but the rest of the world is still asleep
I don't follow the crowd, I'm a wolf killing sheep
I open up third eyes, and bring hell to the booth
I know you've heard lies, I thought I'd tell you the truth, c'mon."
Chorus: (Gary Jules)
"All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere
Going nowhere."
2nd Verse: (hellboy707)
"We've been cursed to see the worst in ourselves
Blind to the fact that we're hurting ourselves
But cockiness will make a champion taste defeat
As the grimey and hopeful, spray paint the streets
Paint pictures of rebellion, revolutionary thoughts
Get beaten, bashed and handcuffed then sent to step in court
25 to life, stands like a long vacation
Your choices set your path, because life is what you make it
Some people think I work hard, others think it's dumb luck
Your best mates will turn on you, just to get their funds up
I feel like the love is missing, people scared to open up
So I'm spitting poetry, hoping that they notice us
We buy products to distract ourselves
Because subconsciously we know that we're trapped in hell
But hope is still alive like a bee with a stinger
The only real change has to begin within us."
Chorus: (Gary Jules)
"All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere
Going nowhere."
3rd Verse: (hellboy707)
"We don't know what life is, we can't handle the meaning
I don't get sleep, I'm busy dancing with demons
I'll fight for what's right, even if I stand alone
An idea develops, the same way a cancer grows
Dig a hole in your soul, that's where the truth is buried
Praise the word of a god, that raped the Virgin Mary
Your only as good as your world allows you to be
Slaves to a system, we're not allowed to be free
The tears from your eyes never wash away the pain
Eventually we all crash, cause we fly a paper plane
So I work smart, cause there's gold to be mined
I speak from a soul, that's older then time
Sell it in a cold winter, for more wood
Do whatever to stay alive, like a warlord should
Defend your identity, but it's just a name tag
I'm the voice of the slaves, just wandering the train tracks."
Chorus: (Gary Jules)
"All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere
Going nowhere."
Chorus: (Gary Jules)
"All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere
Going nowhere."
Outro: (Gary Jules)
"The tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow."
