Two Steps Behind - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

One life to live is all we really get

And we think we live, but all of us are dyin'

A little more each day

It's six o'clock, time to get up

And get ready for work 'cause we can't be late

Or else we won't get paid

And everybody wants to make a little more

Than all your friends livin' next door

Security in exchange for emptiness

Is the price in the USA

Two steps behind of the American dream

Two steps behind and then some more

Two steps behind is where you'll find my boys and me

This all-American dream's more like a nightmare to me

And all I wanna do is wake up

How much money will it take

How many hours a day

Will keep you from the grave?

Mr. Gates, are you gonna freeze yourself

Like Mr. Disney did?

To keep your dream alive

So you won't have to die

And everybody wants to make a little more

Than all your friends livin' next door

Security in exchange for emptiness

Is the price in the USA

Two steps behind of the American dream

Two steps behind and then some more

Two steps behind is where you'll find my boys and me

This all-American dream's more like a nightmare to me

And all I wanna do is wake up

Wake up!

Two steps behind of the American dream

Two steps behind and then some more

Two steps behind is where you'll find my boys and me

This all-American dream's more like a nightmare to me

And all I wanna do is wake up
