Lyrics
The sound-track sonatas you think are brand new
I'm sorry to say weren,t written for you
There from a time not too long ago
see, the world's been here a while,
just thought you should know.
Chorus
'cause as soon as you blink,
you'll be here and doing well.
We all more up that sliding scale.
It'll happen sooner than you think.
It happens just a little everytime you
blink!
The stuff they have on you,
vs. what they had on me,
gives them all they've ever needed
to keep you feeding happily.
Yeah the big machine keeps on turning
a toy for every boy and girl.
You'll soon forget your yearning
and give up substance per the ploy.
Chours
Everytime you blink, everytime you blink
it's coming for you everytime you blink.
Did you think that you were gonna live forever
right here where you are?
Chorus
