Greg Graffin - Highway lyrics

Tired old man you're a wastin'
Slowly battling grey and blue
Built your empire as a shell
So nobody prays on you
Remember when you were fresh and bitter
Like a blossom in it's bud?
Struggle to keep the memories free
From the sweat and blood
Just to generalize, you sleep and you rise
You fail to recognize like the Red Queen
You're running out of steam every mile
The highway of denial

What a funny way to spend the day
Like a farmer deep in debt
Tending to the coming harvest
Ever trying to forget
Don't you feel like you wanna run away
From the mess that you've begun?
Now that they won't let you make
It up as you go along


Just to generalize, you sleep and you rise
You fail to recognize like the Red Queen
You're runnin' out of steam every mile
The highway of denial
