You are born, you arrive
You fight to survive
For reasons you can’t understand
Then slowly you die
And you must wonder why
None of it seems to be planned
It’s a soft covered book
And you can’t help but look
At first the words look worth exploring
But scene after scene
Like a cheap magazine
The pictures are glossy but boring
The plot is the same
And it uses your name
In a movie that’s constantly screening
With show after show
It’s a story you know
But you struggle to find any meaning
So you drift off to sleep
Where the memories you’ll keep
And you’ll find some relief until when
Somewhere deep in the night
Someone flicks on the light
And the movie is screening again
You are born, you arrive
You fight to survive
For reasons you can’t understand
Then slowly you die
And you must wonder why
None of it seems to be planned
It’s a soft covered book
And you can’t help but look
At first the words look worth exploring
But scene after scene
Like a cheap magazine
The pictures are glossy but boring
The plot is the same
And it uses your name
In a movie that’s constantly screening
With show after show
It’s a story you know
But you struggle to find any meaning
So you drift off to sleep
Where the memories you’ll keep
And you’ll find some relief until when
Somewhere deep in the night
Someone flicks on the light
And the movie is screening again
