World Machine Lyrics - Living It Up - Level 42

some folks try 

to multiply 

from sunrise to sunset 

leave behind 

more of their kind 

so no one will forget 

but that ain't where I'm coming from - today 

those easy girls don't turn me on - anyway 

I wanna know where my pride has gone 

the party's over 

caught in a dream 

inside this world machine 

teachers teach 

and preachers preach 

of spiritual evolution 

but this big I am 

from uncle sham 

just adds to my confusion 

I've seen his face, I've heard his song - before 

but I don't care what time he's on - anymore 

I must have been on the streets too long 

the party's over 

caught in a dream 

inside this world machine 

I find myself outside your door 

trying to make it like before 

but you don't follow what I say 

and I can tell by your smile 

you're no longer a child 

that part of you was buried yesterday . . . 

. . . who knows 

why they come and where they go 

in this world machine? 

it's the chosen fools 

who make the rules 

that don't apply to me 

with their fast-car games 

and counter claims 

not my reality 

and I don't know if I belong - today 

I don't know why my friends have gone - away 

I must have been on the streets too long 

the party's over 

caught in a dream 

inside this world machine 

(don't knock the system - we'll knock some sense in you 

don't beat the system - there's nothing you can do)
