Lyrics

You’re captivated by the barest of news. Hang on for every new report. The results don’t match up and so you’re confused and expectations falling short. You’re feeling like a number as you wait for your turn. You got to get out from under. It’s a lesson to learn. If you’re feeling like a number, have to wait for your turn, you got to get out from under. It’s a lesson to learn. You hope your best days are ahead of you, but you cannot see where they go. The twitter-chatter gives you nothing that’s new; changes come fast but they’re so slow. You’re feeling like a number as you wait for your turn. You got to listen for the thunder, or you might get burned. If you’re feeling like a number, have to wait for your turn, you got to listen for the thunder, or you might get burned. The TV on and the media checked, there is no reaching your fill. You can’t disconnect and you can’t neglect your daily run on the treadmill. So, don’t you take a number and don’t wait for your turn. You got to get out from under. It’s a lesson to learn. Stop acting like a number where you wait for your turn. You got to listen for the thunder, or you might get burned.
