Going Nowhere Fast
Nodding heads, but silent doubt,
no one dares to speak it out.
Guess we’re all on board again,
turn around, don’t ask where when.
–
Racing down the wrong highway,
thinking that it’s not our way.
Everyone just plays along,
no one stops to call it wrong.
–
We are going nowhere fast,
chasing shadows from the past.
Thought that someone had a plan,
turns out no one ever ran.
–
We are going nowhere fast,
following but never asked.
Did we want to go at all,
or were we just scared to fall?
–
Stop and listen, break the chain —
do we have to go again?
