Meddlesome fingers, derisive unsatisfied
Cut us down and keep us tied and bound
In a treadmill designed we run with tired eyes


Occasionally they throw a bone at you
Make you forget about the real issues

And the treadmill spins continually and rhythmically

How long, how long

Will this mockery live on
Life spins insistently in this treadmill


Objectified, a commodity
Estimated as goods and services
Will this treadmill spin on and on, forever on


How long, how long
Will this mockery live on

Life spins insistently in this treadmill
