Up The Down Escalator - The Bates

I’m gazing at faces staring blankly at me

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 flak

Oh give me a hint or something

Now they can erase us at a flick of a switch

How long will they wait no

There must be something wrong boys

Yeah

There must be something wrong boys

Obnoxious actions

Teachers who refuse to be taught

Distorted pictures and dizzy dizzy people

Rush by me at the speed of thought

They’re sitting at tables and and throwing the scraps

For christ’s sake leave them something

Now they can erase us at the flick of a switch

Will they hesitate no

There must be something wrong boys

Yeah

There must be something wrong boys

There must be something wrong boys

They’re dragging me down

(Instrumental)

Eden

There’s no eden

Anyway

They’re sitting at tables and and throwing the scraps

For christ’s sake leave them something

Now they can erase us at the flick of a switch

Will they hesitate no

There must be something wrong boys

Yeah

There must be something wrong boys

There must be something wrong boys

They’re dragging me down

And they’re dragging me down

And they’re dragging me down

You either swim or you drown
