Well he woke up today
Filled with remorse
By the choices he's made
All his life failure seems par for the course
But he didn't want to be
Just a cog in a wheel
A replaceable part that no one would touch
No one could feel
But times goes by and there you are
You make your wish on a falling star
But he's so confused, his mind's in a whirl
Is there a place for him?
In this brave new world
In this brave new world
He has a ciggy with his tea
And the smoke makes him cough
And every story that he reads in the morning paper
Just pisses him off
What's wrong with this world?
How much more can we take?
They don't want human beings anymore
Just machines with parts that don't break
And the promises he's made, he finds hard to keep
He's traded his dreams for a good night's sleep
Where he fits, he's never quite sure
Is there a place for him?
In this brave new world
In this brave new world
And if you should die
Before you should wake
All they really care is the loss to the products
You no longer make
So at the end of the day
When you turn out the lights
You know your only reward
Is the feeling you get from doing what's right
And it could be something that you'll never see
That makes it worth all the misery
Just a look of a boy and a girl
Who are trying to find themselves
In a brave new world
In a brave new world
In a brave new world
In a brave new world
So afraid to live in a brave new world
So afraid to live in a brave new world
So afraid to live in a brave new world
So afraid to live in a brave new world
In a brave new world
