All your heroes died back in '69
With your innocence by your own design
Remember how it was living on the edge - time changes everyone
Hunger in your heart beating with a message
And the dreams you traded up for survival
Are the ones you're living for today
In these times of effervescent revival
Stuck in a groove
And you can't break free
Stuck in a groove
You got nothing to prove to me
Stuck in a groove
Yeah, you sold yourself
Stuck in a groove
You sanctify the past, got your souvenirs
Time changes everyone
But it's your quest for shiny things that you now revere
Time changes all we've done
And the dreams you traded up for survival
Are like ghosts from days gone by
Do you need another hero's arrival?
Stuck in a groove
And you can't break free
Stuck in a groove
You got nothing to prove to me
Stuck in a groove
Yeah, you sold yourself
Stuck in a groove
You rave about the world that you came from
Now you spend your time denying what you have become
A sociophile with a chronic smile ... deny it
Stuck in a groove
And you can't break free
Stuck in a groove
You got nothing to prove to me
Stuck in a groove
Yeah, you sold yourself
Stuck in a groove
