Cut Ups - Manbreak

Some of the things that you cannot avoid

You can do what you do, but can’t do what you want

You can put all your time, your money, your life

Hope for the best or you can gamble the lot

You can howl at the moon or reach for the stars

Order a death at a nominal cost

Past the point of no return

But then arrive on time, you have to dodge the fare

Peter robs Paul to pay for his course

Of highly inflated pharmaceutical wares

It’s a curse to his life, but he knows the risk

If you want to get real then this is it

On the 19th floor, looking down

See the sights, not a soul around

See the sky, learn to fly

Take a jump, let’s go for a ride

Something to say, well then say it now

Something to do, well then do it

Lots to gain, lots to face

Lots to prove, so baby

Time is back again

Blind to everything

Take the medicine, come and see

I believe we’ll still be here inside a thousand lives or more

Faces, places, nothing ever changes

No one gets remembered for the good that they’ve done

Finders, keepers, movers, shakers

Breakers, makers, on the top 40 show

Something to say, well then say it now

Something to do, well then do it

Lots to gain, lots to face

Lots to prove, so baby

Time is back again

Blind to everything

Take the medicine, come and see

I believe we’ll still be here inside a thousand lives or more

The minute you’re born, from the moment you talk

Is the minute you see, then you know what’s in store

Jostled, pushed from pillar to post

Volunteering to work on the graveyard shift

Admiring the fools who are robbing you blind

While watching your back, cause they’re always behind

What good is a vote if you haven’t a voice

If you haven’t a voice you’ve got no choice

Something to say, well then say it now

Something to do, well then do it

Lots to gain, lots to face

Lots to prove, so baby

Time is back again

Blind to everything

Take the medicine, come and see

I believe we’ll still be here inside a thousand lives or more

Time is back again

Blind to everything

Take the medicine, come and see

I believe we’ll still be here inside a thousand lives or more
