Os Paralamas do Sucesso - Running On The Spot lyrics
[Os Paralamas do Sucesso - Running On The Spot lyrics]
I was hoping we'd make real progress
But it seems we have lost the power
Any tiny step of advancement
Is like a raindrop falling into the ocean
Were running on the spot
Always have always will?
Were just the next generation
Of the emotionally crippled
Though we keep piling up the building blocks
The structure never seems to get any higher
Because we keep kicking out the foundations
And stand useless while our lives fall down
I believe in life and I believe in love
But the world in which I live in
Keeps trying to prove it wrong
Out the pastures we call society
You can't see further than the
Bottom of your glass
Only you but easily shocked
You gets all violent when
The boats gets rocked
Just like sheep little lambs
Into the slaughter
Don't fully grasp what exactly is wrong
Truth is you never cared still
You get all violent when
The boats gets rocked
Intelligence should be our first weapon
And stop reveling in rejection
And follow yourselves not some
Aging drain brain whose quite content to go
On feeding your garbage
Were running on the spot
Always have always will?
Were just the next generation
Of the emotionally crippled
But it seems we have lost the power
Any tiny step of advancement
Is like a raindrop falling into the ocean
Were running on the spot
Always have always will?
Were just the next generation
Of the emotionally crippled
Though we keep piling up the building blocks
The structure never seems to get any higher
Because we keep kicking out the foundations
And stand useless while our lives fall down
I believe in life and I believe in love
But the world in which I live in
Keeps trying to prove it wrong
Out the pastures we call society
You can't see further than the
Bottom of your glass
Only you but easily shocked
You gets all violent when
The boats gets rocked
Just like sheep little lambs
Into the slaughter
Don't fully grasp what exactly is wrong
Truth is you never cared still
You get all violent when
The boats gets rocked
Intelligence should be our first weapon
And stop reveling in rejection
And follow yourselves not some
Aging drain brain whose quite content to go
On feeding your garbage
Were running on the spot
Always have always will?
Were just the next generation
Of the emotionally crippled
