Nowhere Now

You've got the world on your shoulders, papers strewn across the floor
Two hundred years, years of wisdom, but you're not smiling anymore
You've got chicken on your table, promises for more to come
Nature blessed your holy house, nature blessed your slum

Chorus: Take it all so serious, who's the joke on now
come such a long way, long way, long way, going nowhere now

Your running such a deadly race, too afraid to stop
Corners melt down to the center, run that race until you drop
Cuddled with your favorite misfit, made a mess of Mother Goose
Leaving all your gifts unopened, after all now, what's the use

(Chorus)
