Do you Aknow who you are?
Do you Dever think about it?
If you Awere told it`s a place
Would you Ddrive until you found it?
Or would you Aturn down a street
                                          DF#min
That you know would lead to where you were before?
                                    DF#min
You call it home, but are you really sure
That`s your Dhome?
Do you Aknow what you want?
Have you Dever reconsidered
What a Atrip we are on
And it`s the Donly ride we`re given?
If you could Afly, would you try?
                                           DF#min
Would your feet stay firmly planted on the ground?
                                      DF#min     
Can you explain why the only place you go
Is to wDaste?
Now you Ago to work and you work all day
You sDmoke and bitch on your coffee break
You Atell some jokes to kill that time
Til the Dboss comes back and at the stroke of 5

You dArown in all your Bminlong lost dreams

Bmin

Do you know who you are?

Do you ever think about it?

If you were told it`s a place

Would you drive until you found it?

Or would you turn down a street

F#min

That you know would lead to where you were before?

F#min

You call it home, but are you really sure

That`s your home?

Do you know what you want?

Have you ever reconsidered

What a trip we are on

And it`s the only ride we`re given?

If you could fly, would you try?

F#min

Would your feet stay firmly planted on the ground?

F#min

Can you explain why the only place you go

Is to waste?

Now you go to work and you work all day

You smoke and bitch on your coffee break

You tell some jokes to kill that time

Til the boss comes back and at the stroke of 5

F#min Chord E*
