Their custom concern for the people
Build up the monuments and steeples
To wear out our eyes
I get up just about noon

My head sends a message for me
To reach for my shoes then walk
Gotta go to work, gotta go to work, gotta get a job
Goes through the parking lot fields

Doesn't see no signs that they will yield
And then thought, this'll never end
This'll never end, this'll never stop
Message read on the bathroom wall

Says, "I don't feel at all like I fall."
And we're losing all touch, losing all touch
Building a desert
