Egghead

[Verse 1]
One life to live and only one way to live
But there's an unspoken price to pay the minute you jump in
It pulls the plug that holds your spirit, it pours it down the drain
Slipping through your fingers now to never be regained

[Chorus 1]
One life and one truth, the way it goes
Beyond belief, looking back at forty years
You're nowhere near complete
When it's over, how're they going to explain themselves to you?

[Verse 2]
This watch and chain is taken, full and final payment
For the forty years you gave to us, "meant so very much to us."
Stop your vacant dreaming, there's no more time for that
Fun and games won't get you by or keep you on the track

[Chorus 2]
You sold out to the highest bidder
Doesn't that make you the winner?
Pension doesn't numb the wasted years you've let slip by
"Fun costs money, and who exactly's gonna foot your bill?"

[Chorus 1]
One life and one truth, the way it goes
Beyond belief, looking back at forty years
You're nowhere near complete
When it's over, how're they going to explain themselves to you?

[Chorus 1]
One life and one truth, the way it goes
Beyond belief, looking back at forty years
You're nowhere near complete
When it's over, how're they going to explain themselves to you?
