They tell me that tomorrow will never arrive But I’ve seen it end a million times.

Obnoxious action, obnoxious results From teachers who refuse to be taught. Distorted pictures and dizzy dizzy people Rush by me at the speed of though. And sit at their tables and throw us the scraps For Christs’ sake leave us something
