It's a sign of the times, standing in line

Quietly waiting to go out of your mind

There's nothing to say, no reason to stay

To fight for the right that they have taken away

Get what you get, not what you need

Time after time



* Rags to riches, all fallen down

Rags to riches, tied up and bound

There's no going under

When you're kicked to the ground

Rags to riches..rags to riches



You're down on your knees, caught in the freeze

Crying inside but there's no easy release

Radical views--in yesterday news

Giving the reason with another excuse

Out on your own, cut to the bone

Time after time



repeat * (2x)
