Who Knew

who knew

who knew

our life would be so complicated

who knew

that we would be so automated

no time to think on the brink who knew



who knew

not me, not you or anyone else

come to think of it, it's true

we're misinformed and always warned

to look out who knew



be ready to fabricate and navigate

your personal fate

you've got to articulate, tolerate

and circulate

rearrange and change your thing

just to accommodate

go there, be back, turn around,

go back, hurry up, then wait, don't be late who knew



i got yours, you got mine

hurry up, there ain't no time

exhilarate sometime this year



too much of this, not enough of that,

dislocated is where we're at

sign of the time is here who knew



oh my, just a sigh of relief

there's too much grief in this life

too much strive you've got

to compete or turn a new leaf or die

the reason why



when you go around uptown

you can't be looking down

wordy rise be wise

give you a joke on the wall

you recognize

tranquilize i compromise with you



blank stairs everywhere

don't look mad, who cares

who knew



(...)



too much of this, not enough of that,

dislocated is where we're at

sign of the time is here who knew



who knew our life would be so complicated

that we would be so automated

no time to think who knew
