all you people, in denial   i'd learn to run but it's not that simple   friendly service - with a smile   but there's still no one to hand me a line   said flowers for you people   it's like ashes to the blind      all you faces in a race   you've got your number - you've got your place   keep pushing through thick and thin   collect what you can before winter sets in   you can keep your ashes   what's keeping you blind?   nothing at all      all you see's not what you wanted   all you see's not what you wanted at all   and we're heading for a time   where what we've got are the things we find   and we're heading for a time   believe that we're getting robbed      i'd learn to run   i'd learn to run   i learned to run but it's not that simple   state of things is so sad, sad, sad, sad, sad      we've got the latest in in fashion   we sway the peoples voice   have you got the right kitchenware?   have you made the right choice?   we make sure we sell it like you need it   if you don't get it we just repeat it   one more useless product   until the next one comes   you bought one of those   won't you try one of these   can't you see we're just here to please you   we're here to keep you down   'cause if the people ain't wanting   the system just ain't sound
