On a city street
A girl selling magazines
Has so many hopes and dreams
To make it to the top of the industry
Further down the road See the powerful CEO
He was happier years ago
With a simpler life and a few less zeros
(But)
Some will never know
Some will never know
Some will never know
Some will never know
Breaking the surface
I dig deeper and deeper
To see the story grow
Strangely I?m drawn in as I?m secretly watching
Another episode
A man in the alley way
On a ladder inhaling paint
It?s the same thing every day
But today he?s turning these buildings grey
The old lady 'cross the street
Admires his simplicity
She's the owner of the
Property controlling everything but the time she?s losing
(But)
Some will never know
Some will never know
Some will never know
Some will never know
Breaking the surface
I dig deeper and deeper
To see the story grow
Strangely I?m drawn in as I?m secretly watching
Another episode
We write the script
We're living it
Playing our part in another episode
Each breath we take
Each choice we make is history made
Another episode
He works for the company
He?ll backstab you to watch you bleed
Along with the beauty queen
Selling herself for a taste of the scene
Just like the man in green
That?s leaving his family so called priorities
This nightmare is the American dream
(But)
Some will never know
Some will never know
Some will never know
Some will never know
Breaking the surface
I dig deeper and deeper
To see the story grow
Strangely I?m drawn in as I?m secretly watching
Another episode
We're living it
We write the script
We're living it
Playing our part in another episode
Each breath we take
Each choice we make is history made
