I turned to the future
And nothing was found
A place in the system
And a face in the crowd
Is this the hard way
And I felt like a stone
Now my pockets are empty
But nothing can touch me
If I live for today
Is this the hard way
And I walk past the station
And my pockets are empty
And nobody knows me
I've got nothing to say
Nothing consoles me
And nothing can touch me
You feel like you sold me
But you gave me away
Is this the hard way
They say so
And I walked past the station
It was spilling confusion
And somebody touched me
And I wanted to scream
And soon you'll be faced
With the final delusion
That nobody knows how
To stop the machine
Is this the hard way
They say so
