Upperbirth

Now, did you think you really had a choice?
Did you think you had a lot to say?
Did you figure that they'd hear your voice?
Did he tell you, "give it all away"?

You were looking but you could not see
You were listening but you could not hear
Did you try to get away from me, to get away from you
To get away from here?

Well, you were leading in the human race
Born to take the winner's prize
But you struggle as you try in vain
To ride your camel through the needle's eye

You were looking but you could not see
You were listening but you could not hear
Did you try to get away from me, to get away from you
To get away from here?

So have you fallen from your upper birth, oh why, why, why?
It makes you wonder, don't it?

Don't you wonder why your life feels empty?
Do your methods magnify the law?
Do your riches seem to overtake you?
Does it ever even trouble you at all, all, all?

You were looking but you could not see
You were listening but you could not hear
Did you try to get away from me, to get away from you
To get away from here?

So have you fallen from your upper birth at last?

I'm on the edge of my seat
I'm in the dark looking out
I've started feeling the beat
There's no stopping me now, now, now, now

So I see you pushed me on the limit
There'll be no escaping through the back door
Someday you're gonna have to face it
Does it ever make you wonder just what for?

You were looking but you could not see
You were listening but you could not hear
Did you try to get away from me, to get away from you
To get away from here?

So have you fallen from your upper birth at last?

I'm on the edge of my seat
I'm in the dark but I'm looking out
I've started feeling the beat
There's no stopping me now
