Yeah, your dad was a punk

He loved your hippie mom

And though those times are all gone

You still see something's wrong

'Cause they've been rigging the race

Yeah, leaving dreams without space

And kept it all to themselves

You're getting fooled but can't tell

And all we ever want is automatic survival

Yeah, by the time life starts we're dead on arrival

Yeah, see the longest lines of souls with their eyes closed

And all they ever want is automatic survival

You want the key or the bread?

Inside the prisoner's head

Because you are scared and afraid

You gave your freedom instead

The winner's got your vote

The winner lied and he stole

A scream that stays in your throat

You're gonna pay with your soul

And all we ever want is automatic survival

Yeah, by the time life starts we're dead on arrival

See the longest lines of souls with their eyes closed

And all they ever want is automatic survival

Yeah! You want round of applause?

For ignoring the cause?

The loss of hope

And the absence of trust

Hey, are we mad enough?

And all we ever want is automatic survival

Yeah, by the time life starts we're dead on arrival

See the longest lines of souls with their eyes closed

And all they ever want is automatic survival

And all we ever want is automatic survival

Yeah, by the time life starts we're dead on arrival

See the longest lines of souls with their eyes closed

And all they ever want is automatic survival
