Lyrics

Equalized

[Verse 1]

Friend called today

Said, "No more, no way."

He saw things different today

Ran out of trust

The world ain't big enough

For a feeling man with a plan

[Chorus]

Dreams die today

(Do you call this living, really?)

Too much hassle, too much risk

(Inside the holes you're digging)

Dreams die today

(Do you call this living, really?)

No more disappointments

[Verse 2]

Please remain seated

Your number's coming

Do not question these commands

Just walk the dog

Be a bump on a log

Watch TV until you're blind

[Chorus]

Dreams die today

(Do you call this living, really?)

Too much hassle, too much risk

(Inside the holes you're digging)

Dreams die today

(Do you call this living, really?)

No more disappointments

[Verse 3]

Everyone's equalized

See the look in their eyes

No more vital signs, they're gone

We've got a new dream

We're on the winning team

We're gonna sleep our way through hell

[Chorus]

Dreams die today

(Do you call this living, really?)

Too much hassle, too much risk

(Inside the holes you're digging)

Dreams die today

(Do you call this living, really?)

No more disappointments

Dreams die today

(Do you call this living, really?)

Too much hassle, too much risk

(Inside the holes you're digging)

Dreams die today

(Do you call this living, really?)

No more disappointments
