lyrics

All the years of running ragged
Disappeared and left you haggard
Fighting for crumbs
Floating in the doldrums. Now you’re

Living in a factory where
Everyone’s your enemy
A threat to your name
Maybe it’s time

Hooked on efficiency and
Economies of scarcity
No time to explain
No place to feel the pain

At the door on bended knee
Skipping over niceties
Survival’s the aim
Maybe it’s time to change the game

Open up, open wide
Break apart, look inside
Take a breath, thank God you’re still alive
All the money, all the fame,
all the people, all the same
Turn the volume down and change the game.

Looking over souvenirs
From your days as a pioneer
On flights to the coast
Closing deals and making toasts
Whatever happened to that seed
Taking on the unmet needs
No pressure, no shame
Maybe it’s time to change the game

Open up, open wide
Break apart, look inside
Take a breath, thank God you’re still alive
All the money, all the fame,
all the people, all the same
Turn the volume down

Open up, open wide
Break apart, look inside
Take a breath, thank God you’re still alive
All the money, all the fame,
all the people, all the same
Turn the volume down and change the game.
