Parallel lives

We are young and hopeful

we pay our taxes and pray for god

we raise our children and bless our day

we go shopping and remember our duty

but we are happening to live parallel lives

we are living parallel lives

we are living parallel lives

we are living parallel lives

where we think nothing but what neighbor thinks

where we lose ourselves to Morning mist

we are living parallel lives

we are living parallel lives

we are not so independent and straight

we are not so frisky and bright

we are living parallel lives

we are living parallel lives          ‘                       

mustn’t us remember that we are young

mustn’t us remember that we are not so dumb

but we are living parallel lives

we are living parallel lives

where day does not break until someone dies

mustn’t I see it in your own eyes

we are living parallel lives

we are living parallel lives

go on, go on and raise

your hand, and hope for plenty of days

we are living parallel lives

we are living parallel lives

where we are bourgeois and fat

not less than one despicable rat

we are living parallel lives

we are living parallel lives

our days are over and gone

until something has been really done and done
