Part of a broken machinery The same noise is all around Drums of war in some forgotten land Echoing in a Christmas card Life is a highway, we got one chance So spread all the news, don't wait World doesn't get to me I am who I am, who I want to be World doesn't get to me So don't let it get to you Rat race is running every day Is that the price you wanna pay? Reality is just in TV Plastic Christ in a**embly lines Life is a highway, we got one chance So spread all the news, don't wait World doesn't get to me I am who I am, who I want to be World doesn't get to me So don't let it get to you The standard of newfound perfection You're walking the walk and you're talking the talk World doesn't get to me I am who I am, who I want to be World doesn't get to me So don't let it get to you
