Bridge:
Em                    D
If we keep running to escape
Em                     D
Going in circles, finding ways
Em                     D
To envy, conspire, covet, hate
Em
Then we'll just be wasting our time
A
Falling in line, heeding no sign
Em                       D
Stuck neither asleep nor awake
