So you waste another day getting older and gray in the head,
And you're hearing lots of stories 'bout the happy times you have ahead.
There are other folks in power so you kick back and get farther behind,
And although the world rotates itself the only thing you twist is your mind.
You see, the world's falling apart at the rifts,
And surprisingly, the leaders can't make any sense of it.
You mean nothing to the world, we're all someone else's fool,
But oh, what can you do?
"Yeah you waste your time with losers if you get stuck in a rock-n-roll band."
Do you find it more rewarding to compete with morons throughout this land?
They seem to be in power so I'll kick back and get farther behind.
And I watch them as they fuck up every good thing on this earth with their "minds."

This song is about not only our willingness to "let someone else take care ot it," but also the fact that our "leaders" are patently stupid and clueless regarding anything. But we take their word when we "hear lots of stories..." Oddly enough, I actually thought that instead of Greg singing "kick back and get farther behind," he sang, "Kick back and pantomime." Which is WAY fucking cooler.

This is (I think) a song about how many people don't do anything about the world because everyone else has it covered. We just "waste another day getting overweight and gray in the head" with everyday that passes by our passivity.
