[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Nobody at the wheel
Somebody hold the controls, give me something real
Somebody grab the wheel
Somebody aim the machine towards something real
Somebody step on the brakes
Someone that feels, take the wheel, someone blow me away
Something to give me the shakes
Somebody real, take the wheel, get me outta this place
(Somebody real, take the wheel)
(Somebody real, take the wheel)
(Somebody real, take the wheel)
(Somebody real, take the wheel)
[Verse 2]
Somebody light a fire
Someone aim, take the game, just a little higher
Reach up and cut the wires
Why don't you stand on your own for a little while?
Somebody step on the brakes
'Cause I see nothing but confusion beaming from place to place
I hear a thousand different voices and I can't concentrate
And now I'm wondering what kind of creature's runnin' this place
[Verse 3]
So c'mon, grab the wheel
Somebody hold the controls, give me something real
Somebody grab the wheel
Somebody aim the machine towards something real
Somebody step on the brakes
Someone that feels, take the wheel, someone blow me away
Something to give me the shakes
Somebody real, take the wheel, get me outta this place
[Bridge]
Is anybody even driving this thing?
Is anybody even driving this thing?
Is anybody even driving this thing?
Is anybody even driving this thing?
Is anybody even driving this thing?
We keep on calling but there's no one listening
Does anybody really know anymore where we're going at all?
What we're all heading for?
Is anybody even driving this thing?
We keep on calling but there's no one listenin'
Does anybody really know anymore where we're going at all?
What we're all heading for?
[Verse 4]
Is anybody even driving this thing?
(Somebody real, take the wheel)
Is anybody even driving this thing?
(Somebody real, take the wheel)
Is anybody even driving this thing?
(Somebody real, take the wheel)
Or do we just ride, and ride, and ride, and ride?
