Don't let this affect the game
 Every five months we act the same
 But I never get used to putting you off
 And no one could have scripted this
 Who knows what [bad word] of it
 I refuse to believe it's all just a waste

 Just look around
 Everybody's on the food chain, funny
 But from day to day we get from bottom to top
 And if you get lost, just start over again
 But we don't ever get to
 No, we don't ever get to stop

 I wake up in this oblivious state
 Go to sleep, try to save some face
 Cause I've never one for acting' naive
 So what we got nothing to prove
 Why on earth would we soften the mood
 Do we think that this wire is better left live

 Cause look around 
 Everybody's on this food chain, funny
 But from day to day, we get from bottom to top
 And if you get lost, just start over again
 But we don't ever get to
 No, we don't ever get to stop

 I woulda known better if I was on the outside
 I woulda known better if I was on the outside lookin' in, lookin' in
 But this chain just eats away at the people who use it
 No one gonna say that it's easy to lose it
 Tough to say who we need when it's not even on the outside

 Everybody's on the food chain, funny
 But from day to day, we get from bottom to top
 And if you get lost, just start over again
 But we don't ever get to
 No, we don't ever get to...
