Swimming Against the Tide lyrics

Fifth and fourth of the major scale, check One five six four progression, check Into the machine, out into the world Background muzak for the boys and girls All you bring all the same So much nothingness in a fancy dress I play along, that's the game Would it feel right? Swimming against the tide Synchronised steps over quantized lines Generic tricks to soothe the short term minds Template ready, fill in the blanks Copy, paste, repeat, higher in the ranks
