lyrics

i was thinking about the times we talked about it
dreaming of the sky as we tippy-toed the border line
revolution for the ones who wrote about it
as they were blurry-eyed and wired in the little hours of the night
i was thinking we could paint the ceiling black
but little did we know we were headed for a heart attack
like a lion with a monkey on it’s back
dreaming of the day when the fantasy would wash away

it don’t mean anything
unless you get the job done
standing with your hand out
hoping that you get some
you won’t do anything
unless you get up and run
sitting with your lip down
waiting for the day to come

reminiscing all the times we rode to war
yes and pulling on the reigns eventually became a bore
i ain’t no elevator, i ain’t no motivator
it made a meal outta me and it ain’t ever coming back for more
more, no

it don’t mean anything
unless you get the job done
standing with your hand out
hoping that you get some
you won’t do anything
unless you get up and run
sitting with your lip down
waiting for the day to come

looking back i can see we lived that dream
we drove a million miles but we ran out of gasoline
get me the operator, we need an orchestrator
to chant a hip hip hip horay for the bright lights in our day
but!

it don’t mean anything
unless you get the job done
standing with your hand out
hoping that you get some
you won’t do anything
unless you get up and run
sitting with your lip down
waiting for the day to come
