Dead man walking like a wind up toy,
plodding never plotting for the things that
bring him joy, living in the movies like he's
celluloid, and then its over, so roll the
creditds now. Dead man standing single file
in every line, gave up all the searching, he
was scared of what he'll find, waiting
waiting waiting for the stars to come
alligned and then its over...
But i don't wanna live like i'm heading to
the grave, no i don't wanna live that way, i
got a purpose and a plan, and i don't wanna
live like a dead man
Dead man living but it's just another
show, he knows she only loves him for his
money and his blow, it's like he never saw
the sence in reaching past the status quo
and then it's over, lower the casket down.
Dead man shuffling down another city
street, can't lift up his head and he can't
pick up his feet. You can see his
resignation and acceptance of defeat and
then it's over
But i don't wanna live like i'm just
another slave, no i don't wanna live that
way, i got a purpose and a plan, and i don't
wanna live like a dead man
stagnant and so sedentary
(not until we're dead and buried)
lobotomized automatons
(we ain't no sons of Babylon)
Blinded by our gilded chains
(let's make a mark not just a stain)
as long as we're alive
there's life to live.
Dead man slipping through his twilight
years, come to realize that he's never faced
his fears, but there ain't no second
chances, just regret and bitter tears and
then it's over.
But i don't wanna live like i'm in it for
the wage, no i don't wanna live that way, i
got a purpose and a plan, and i don't wanna
live like a dead man. No i don't wanna live
like it's just another day, no i don't wanna
live that way, i got a purpose and a plan,
and i don't wanna live like a dead man.
