Glass - Kasabian
We are going nowhere fast
Are we made of glass?
No one knows, no one knows
Play out at the highest level
Something never sung before
Stalk by, human interaction
Keep them in their corners
We can start and turn off everything
It's all the same,
don't say I'll laugh again
Save me
Oh, come on and save me
From this world
Tell me
'Cause I need to know
I'm not alone
We are taught to watch the puppets
Not the hands controlling
Do you think if we pull out the rug
The world would stop revolving?
We can start and turn off everything
It's all the same,
don't say I'll laugh again
Save me
Oh, come on and save me
From this world
Save me
Oh, come on and save me
From this world
Tell me
'Cause I need to know
I'm not alone
We are going nowhere fast
Are we made of glass?
No one knows, no one knows
no one knows
A wise man told me
that we are born with wings
But never taught to fly
Doesn't that make you wonder why
Is it to prevent us
from falling out of the sky
Or is it to stop us from soaring too high
So let me ask you this
Are you running around in a circle
going nowhere fast
'Cause when you look at
the man in the mirror
He's made of nothing but glass
You're never aware
that mountains don't move themselves
Tectonic plates make them shift
That all it took was
a staff to part the Red Sea
All it took was a bus to Montgomery
A single woman
who refused to give up her seat
We fought an entire army with
a bouquet of flowers back in the'70's
But now you're taught
to remain without will
until you run out of energy
Afraid that if you strive for
an ideal you end up like a Kennedy
It's like being on a treadmill
every day but never losing any weight
'Cause to see success the food
before you digest has to change
We're stressed and high
get depressed and die
But still afraid to question why
One of the biggest criminals
I ever met wore a suit and tie
When did we stop believing
When did we stop marching
When did we stop chanting?
