Lyrics
Day in, day out It’s just light and sound You’ve been hanging around But that’s over now You look alive Feel dead inside And it’s in your eyes You won’t survive Want to live forever Total system error Maybe I’m a failure Maybe I’ll be greater You get carried along And you can’t feel it go, go, go You won’t feel it go ‘Til you get back up again You won’t feel it go Lead or follow (x3) Nothing better to do Feeling bored inside you Major system failure Maybe see you later You get carried along And you can’t feel it go, go, go You won’t feel it go ‘Til you get back up again You won’t feel it go Lead or follow (x9) Day in, day out It’s just light and sound Been hanging around But that’s over now You look alive Feel dead inside And it’s in your eyes You won’t survive (x2) You won’t feel it go ‘Til you get back up again You won’t feel it go Lead or follow (x9)
