Dag Nasty - Average Man lyrics

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 can't hide it that's 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 can't hide it that's the story of an average man Take us to our cubicles today And it's the hell we make o.k. Nobody cares, nobody cares, no one cares about the average man Burnt toast at 6 a.m. it's not gourmet, but it's adequate Waste away precious hours in front of the flat screen monitor Change, but you can't hide it - that's the story of an average man Take us to our cubicles today And it's the hell we make o.k. Nobody cares, nobody cares, no one cares about the average man Just when you think you've got everything you've 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 we've made? Can we escape? can we escape? Everyday there's something new it just goes on and on I try to take a different view still I'm doing something wrong Burning but I hesitate to burn this final bridge Yearning for a better way to say 'to hell with this' I'm twisted again Doubled in pain A shell of myself is all that will remain Bills spilling out onto the floor welcome to life my friend Working but there's so many more will this sh** never end? Too much responsibility I just can't take much more And when you act so cold it just points me to that door I'm twisted again I'm twisted again Doubled in pain A shell of myself is all that will remain
