I turned to the future And nothing was found A place in the system And a face in the crowd Is this the hard way And I felt like a stone Now my pockets are empty But nothing can touch me If I live for today Is this the hard way And I walk past the station And my pockets are empty And nobody knows me I've got nothing to say Nothing consoles me And nothing can touch me You feel like you sold me But you gave me away Is this the hard way They say so And I walked past the station It was spilling confusion And somebody touched me And I wanted to scream And soon you'll be faced With the final delusion That nobody knows how To stop the machine Is this the hard way They say so
