We're all, just a bunch of people
We're all, just mysterious creatures
We're digging tunnels
And we're moving fast
We're taught it's a shame to be the last
But one of us has to be
Well then just let it be me
We're all, so it seems, just a headache for the world
We're all, just a never ending noise out there
We stay up all night
And we're buzzing around
Getting tired of this irritating sound
But one of us should shut it down
Shut it down
At the end of the day
We start all over again
By the end of the day
The end of the day
The same mistakes
The same procedure every year
When we add it all up
Is that all we've got
We're all, just a reproduction
We're all, just a wheel in a clockwork
And on and on we're ticking
To the given beat
We're just passengers on a pre-booked seat
And no one knows where we're going
No one knows
At the end of the day
We start all over again
By the end of the day
The end of the day
The same mistakes
The same procedure every year
When we add it all up
Is that all we've got
Are we stuck on a cargo ship
Which is heading into the rocks
Will the ocean deep, swallow us all
And spit us out again
