And now, tragically his family is planning his funeral
A screen flashes the morning news
Don't drink the tap water
Taxes are going up
A successful man with a loving family shot himself
But no one cares
Because no one is listening
Once more to find one's self in the graces of the modern deity
Once more to join those who shall soon be forgotten, marching their way to the platform
Once more to spend one's life waiting for the arrival of the next train
Once more to spend one's life waiting for his chance, his time, his day
Once more to spend one's life searching for the promised land
Once more to spend one's life fantasizing about that which will never come to be
Just cheer up a little
But, don't you see?
Open your eyes, look!
You're so close
Just one more step
