Yeah, your dad was a punk
He loved your hippie mom
And though those times are all gone
You still see something's wrong

Cause they've been rigging the race
Yeah, leaving dreams without space
And kept it all to themselves
You're getting fooled but can't tell

And all you ever want is automatic survival
Yeah, by the time life starts we're dead on arrival
Yeah, see the longest line of souls
With their eyes closed
And all they ever want is automatic survival

You want the key or the bread?
Inside the prisoners head
Because you are scared and afraid
You gave your freedom instead

The winner's got your vote
The winner lied and he stole
A scream that stays in your throat
You're gonna pay with your soul

And all you ever want is automatic survival
Yeah, by the time life starts we're dead on arrival
See the longest line of souls
With their eyes closed
And all they ever want is automatic survival

Yeah!
You want round of applause?
For ignoring the cause?
The loss of hope
And the absence of trust
Yeah, are we mad enough?

And all you ever want is automatic survival
Yeah, by the time life starts we're dead on arrival
See the longest line of souls
With their eyes closed
And all they ever want is automatic survival

And all we ever want is automatic survival
Yeah, by the time life starts we're dead on arrival
See the longest lines of souls
With their eyes closed
And all they ever want is automatic survival
