lyrics

Hit the snooze.
Stood in bed.
Too long, now I'm late.
Missed the train.
Late for work.
Oh well, nothing new.
Now my boss is getting mad.
Oh gee, that's too bad.
I can't take this anymore.
This life ain't for me.

Everyone's the same.
Selling their souls like it's out of style.
Phony smiles galore.
Play their game and kiss their feet.

(This endless charade) Is nothing more than a Stepping Stone.
(This nine to five grind) Is nothing more than a Stepping Stone.
(This fancy clothing) Is nothing more than a Stepping Stone.
(Look to the sky) The Stepping Stone will get you closer in time.

I'm a pawn.
Disposable.
I move one or two.
You're the queen.
You're the best.
But you got no balls.
You don't play by the rules.
Don't care what you do.
I'm gunna rise above them all.
Victory is mine.

Everyone's the same.
Selling their souls like it's out of style.
Phony smiles galore.
Play their game and kiss their feet.

(This endless charade) Is nothing more than a Stepping Stone.
(This nine to five grind) Is nothing more than a Stepping Stone.
(This fancy clothing) Is nothing more than a Stepping Stone.
(Look to the sky) The Stepping Stone will get you closer in time.

(This endless charade) Is nothing more than a Stepping Stone.
(This nine to five grind) Is nothing more than a Stepping Stone.
(This fancy clothing) Is nothing more than a Stepping Stone.
(Look to the sky) The Stepping Stone will get you closer in time.
