Up the Down Escalator Songtext
von The Bates

I′m gazing at faces staring blankly at me
Well I suppose it's just a sign of the times
They tell me tomorrow will never arrive
But I have seen it in a million times
I lost my direction, my lodging, the plan

Oh give me a hint of something

Now they can erase us at the flick of a switch
How long will they wait?
Oh there must be something wrong boys
Yeah there must be something wrong boys

Obnoxious actions, obnoxious results
And the teachers who refuse to be taught
Distorted pictures and dizzy dizzy people
Who rush by me at the speed of thought
They sit at their tables and query this class

For Christ′s sake leave them something


Now they can erase us at the flick of a switch
Will they hesitate?
Oh there must be something wrong boys
Yeah there must be something wrong boys
Oh there must be something wrong boys
They're dragging me down
Reason, there's no reason anyway
They sit at their tables and query this class
For Christ′s sake leave them something

Now they can erase us at the flick of a switch
Will they hesitate?
Oh there must be something wrong boys
Yeah there must be something wrong boys
Oh there must be something wrong boys

They′re dragging me down
And they're dragging me down
And they′re dragging me down
Yeah you swim or you drown
