Everyday the same routine
 
 Operating life machine
 
 On and on we live this way
 
 With no spontaneity
 
  
  What happened to the wild ones?
 
 No sense of the hours
 
 What happened to the freedom?
 
 Did we get that back?
  
 
 So we're going, going through the motions
 
 We're just going, going through the motions
 
 We used to live like waves in the oceans
 
 Now we're going, going through the motions
  
 
 What if I said 'let's run away'?
 
 A one way ticket to an exotic place
 
 Dance and scream and shout in the pouring rain
 
 Find serenity in the great escape
  
 
 What happened to the wild ones?
 
 No sense of the hours
 
 What happened to the freedom?
 
 Can we get that back?
  
 
 'Cause we're going, going through the motions
 
 We're just going, going through the motions
 
 We used to live like waves in the oceans
 
 Now we're going, going through the motions
  
 
 (I can't keep going, I can't keep going, I can't keep going
 
 I can't keep going, I can't keep going, I can't keep going)
 
 I can't, I can't, I can't
  
 
 Said I can't keep going, going through the motions
 
 You can't keep going, going through the motions
 
 We used to live life with so much emotion
 
 Can't keep going, going through the motions
