Hamster on a Wheel (lyrics)

What is this empty sensation?

Could be possible an emancipation?

I feel like I’ve run for ages,

but my view are the same old stages

Was this my own idea?

Induced cravings, empty possessions

Permanent tattoos in temporary bodies

Late-night store hedonism

onanism until late in the day

Do you care how I feel?

Are you are here still? (are you here still… are you here still…)

Run, run, run hamster on the wheel

aren’t you getting tired of this plastic feel?

Run, run, run hamster on the wheel

will you realize you are here standing still?

“It’s a wonderful life” movie extract:
Here, you're all businessmen here. Doesn't it make them better citizens? Doesn't it make them better customers? You... you said... what'd you say a minute ago? They had to wait and save their money before they even thought to think of a decent home. Wait? Wait for what? Until their children grow up and leave them? Until they're so old and broken down that they... Do you know how long it takes to a working man to save $5,000?

The path is laid out by the others

You have to follow the orders

Here, play with your toys, eat this fodder

So we can control your behavior.

Run, run, run hamster on the wheel

aren’t you getting tired of this plastic feel?

Run, run, run hamster on the wheel

will you realize you are here standing still?

Now repeat after me: "I am free"

Please repeat after me: "I am free"

Now repeat after me: "I am free"

Please repeat after me

Run, run, run hamster on the wheel

aren’t you getting tired of this plastic feel?

Run, run, run hamster on the wheel

will you realize you are here standing still?
