Up the Down Escalator - The Chameleons

I’m gazing at faces staring blankly at me

Oh, I suppose it’s just a sign of the times

They tell me tomorrow will never arrive

But I’ve seen it end a million times

I lost my direction while dodging the flack

Oh, give me a hint or something

If I could freeze time at the flick of the switch

I wouldn’t hesitate, no

There must be something wrong, boys

Yeah, there must be something wrong, boys

Obnoxious actions, obnoxious results

Yes, teachers who refuse to be taught

Distorted pictures and dizzy, dizzy people

Rush by me at the speed of thought

They sit at the tables and throw us the scraps

For Christ’s sake leave me something

Now they can erase you at the flick of a switch

Oh, there must be a way

Oh, there must be something wrong, boys

Yeah, there must be something wrong, boys

There must be something wrong, boys

They’re dragging me down

Eden, there’s no Eden

Anyway

They sit at the tables and throw us the scraps

For Christ’s sake, leave us something

Now they can erase you at the flick of a switch

How long will it take

Oh, there must be something wrong, boys

Yeah, there must be something wrong, boys

There must be something wrong, boys

And they’re dragging me down

And they’re dragging me down

And they’re dragging me down

You either swim or you drown
