Lyrics

You rise in the morning, a machine
But something is missing you will see
Hello, hello is anyone home?
We're in this together. All alone
Get up. Get up. You're getting it wrong
You won't tell the difference 'til it's gone

And you got nowhere to go
And you got nowhere to go
You just follow where it flows
Don't it break you up
Can't feel your empty heart
Everything you are
You tear your world apart

You look through the window just too see
They cut down the forest for a tree 
Hello? Hello? Is anyone home?
We're in this together all alone
Get up. Get up.You're getting it wrong
You won't tell the difference 'til it's gone

And you got nowhere to go
And you got nowhere to go
You just follow where it flows
Don't it break you up
Can't feel your empty heart
Everything you are
Everything you are
Don't it break you up
You'll never have enough 
Everything you are
You tear your world apart

I know you want to rule the world
But as it goes you can't buy love
Why's it such a mystery
If I can't see you, you can't see me

And you got nowhere to go
And you got nowhere to go
You just follow where it flows
Don't it break you up
Can't feel your empty heart
Everything you are
Everything you are
Don't it break you up
You'll never have enough 
Everything you are
You tear your world apart

Tear your world apart
Tear your world apart
Tear your world apart
