You better start running
When your feet hit the ground
Stop praying
Cause there's no one around
Make appearances
And don't make a sound
Check the clearances
And keep your head down
Try to keep yourself alive
Play the part, try to survive
Let the others take the misery
When they're out making history
Because a world that needs to change
Is at the dawn of a brand new age
Stand back, fan the flames
Jump, shout, scream and complain
Tear it down and start again
Get ready for more of the same
There's a lot of trouble
Under the sun
The clock's ticking
And we're under the gun
We turn the pages
But we've just begun
We plan the stages
But it never gets done
Try to set your pride aside
Jump across that big divide
Let the kings and their victories
Tumble into history
When the folks in authority
Try a little bit of R and D
It comes down on you and me
Stick around, wait and see
If you need a little sage advice
Slow down, put your soul on ice
Be a gentleman, that would be nice
Let the savages pay the price
It's world full of plans and dreams
But they haven't got the ways and means
Do us all favour, don't go there
Just forget about the whole affair
