Dag Nasty

He looks back to the days when the lyrics and chords meant everything
these days he stares at the screen so complacent and without dreams
change, but he cant hide it - thats the story of an average man
he needs goods and services for which he pays a premium
just a display for his neighbors dot-comers who earned a fortune
change, but we cant hide it - thats the story of an average man
take us to our cubicles today
and its the hell we make o.k.
nobody cares, nobody cares, no one cares about the average man
burnt toast at 6 a.m. its not gourmet, but its adequate
waste away precious hours in front of the flat screen monitor
change, but you cant hide it - thats the story of an average man
take us to our cubicles today
and its the hell we make o.k.
nobody cares, nobody cares, no one cares about the average man
just when you think youve got everything youve got nothing at all
take us to our cubicles today
take us to our cubicles today
take us to the hell we made
take us to the hell we made
can we escape? can we escape?
how can we escape the hell weve made?
can we escape? can we escape?
