In the basement waiting for a statement

But station's frequency is vacant

Why don't we go outside?

In the break room waiting for a big boom

Smoke haze rising in a big plume

Everyone's dissatisfied



The pools have dried

The child's been tried, but the leak's still spilling

They don't know what to do

The flow won't stop, pressure still won't drop

Tanks are overfilling



Forward we call

Backwards we fall through the ebb and the flow

Livin' within our dream

Wading through the stream beyond the ebb and flow



Up late to earn the proceeds

All stressed out, work until your eyes bleed

Overtime to buy things we don't need



You're always on the go when you're thirty, thirty

Gotta make the ins and you're dirty, dirty

Will it ever stop? Will it ever end? This is warning

Reality of this is you go loco, loco

Too much of this way and you'll go postal, postal

Happens all the time, get in line and go comatose



The moms and pops have all closed up shop

And who can blame them? I don't know, anyone

The kids just hide, scared to go outside

And just who can blame them?



At times it seems unreal

We can see but we can't feel

And no one's at the wheel

Born here all alone

Growing old with hearts of stone

The lights are on but no one's home



Forward we call

Backwards we fall through the ebb and the flow

Livin' within our dream

Wading through the stream beyond the ebb and flow

Images we have made, must have made it to the ebb and flow
