The Big Push

Tell, tell me the reasons why
Tell me every secret you've been told
'Cause everybody knows they're dangerous

Sell, sell me some of that wonder stuff
The stuff that lets you look at them and nod
Smile and say thank God that wasn't us

When it all goes to pieces
And it won't be long
Once you've had your fun
We'll all just sit around
Wait until the big push comes

Now the time that we've been waiting for
The moment when you finally realize
Promises are lies, they turn to dust

Time, time changes everything
Can turn you from a hero to a dog
Living in a fog like the rest of us

When it all goes to pieces
And it won't be long
Once you've had your fun
We'll all just sit around
Wait until the big push comes

Write, write me a pretty poem
Make believe that Paradise is here
Future's coming clear sun through the clouds

When it all goes to pieces
And it won't be long
Once you've had your fun
We'll all just sit around
Wait until the big push comes

When it all goes to pieces
And it won't be long
Once you've had your fun
We'll all just sit around
Wait until the big push comes
