It's a sign of the times, standing in line
  Quietly waiting to go out of your mind
  There's nothing to say, no reason to stay
  To fight for the right that they have taken away
  Get what you get, not what you need
  Time after time
    * Rags to riches, all fallen down
  Rags to riches, tied up and bound
  There's no going under
  When you're kicked to the ground
  Rags to riches..rags to riches
    You're down on your knees, caught in the freeze
  Crying inside but there's no easy release
  Radical views--in yesterday news
  Giving the reason with another excuse
  Out on your own, cut to the bone
  Time after time
    repeat * (2x)
