I hugged the wife and drove to work today,
It was only a few miles.
Was in a hurry but the lights were changing up ahead,
So I stepped on the gas.
I checked the web and left it on over night,
Downloading all the latest files.
Fear, revere, the torrent flows into my lap,
And I disconnect.
We all know no need to remind us,
We all know we won't connect the dots.
We all know locked away inside us,
We are dying for tomorrow.
We are living for today.
I rushed back home to my family,
I got my son a brand new game.
No need to cook, I picked up fast food on the way,
And it's finger-licking good.
Have you seen little Steve today,
Guess he's still up there in his room.
But if he comes down to,
I'll be right here just staring at the tune.
Playing his game.
We all know no need to remind us,
We all know we won't connect the dots.
We all know locked away inside us,
We are dying for tomorrow.
We are living for today.
Don't you think it's rather warm tonight,
Especially for the time of year.
I turn up the air pull the sheets up to my chin,
And I close my eyes.
Can't relax, can't fall asleep,
Should I take another pill?
I turn up the lights, light up a cigarette and smile,
I've got it made.
We all know no need to remind us,
We all know we won't connect the dots.
We all know locked away inside us,
We are dying for tomorrow.
We are living for today.
