How Does It Happen? Songtext

Oh, kid you're in a terrible state You better pick yourself up before it gets too late You're into phyiscal fitness and emotional fatness You think you're an actress, you act like a mattress How does it happen? How does it happen? How do things get to be that way? How does it happen? How does it happen? I feel like a wheel on a train that's runnin' away Runnin' away, runnin' away Runnin' away, runnin' away Oh, kid it can be bad out there When the trash comes at you from everywhere An original thought can be such a rush Why do they feed you on a diet of man-made mush? How does it happen? How does it happen? How does it get to be that way? How does it happen? How does it happen? I feel like a wheel on a train runnin' away Runnin' away, runnin' away Runnin' away, runnin' away I feel like a wheel on a train that's runnin' away Oh, kid there's no quick solution And there's no one there to grant you absolution When your friends belong in an institution There's a spanner in the works of evolution How does it happen? How does it happen? How does it get to be that way? How does it happen? How does it happen? I feel like a wheel on a train that's runnin' away... Runnin' away, runnin' away Runnin' away, runnin' away Runnin' away I feel like a wheel on a train that's runnin' away Runnin' away, runnin' away
