On a city street
A girl selling magazines
Has so many hopes and dreams
To make it to the top
Of the industry
Further down the road
See the powerful CEO
He was happier years ago
With a simpler life
And a few less zeros
But some will never know
Some will never know
Some will never know
Some will never know!
Breaking the surface
I dig deeper and deeper
To see the story grow
Strangely I'm drawn as I'm
Secretly watching another episode
A man in the alley way
On a ladder inhaling paint
It's the same thing everyday
But today he's turning these buildings grey
The old lady across the street
Admires his simplicity
She's the owner of the property
Controlling everything
But the time she's losing
Some will never know
Some will never know
Some will never know
Some will never know!
We write the script
We're living it
Playing our part in another episode
Each breath we take
Each choice we make
Is history made
Another episode
He works for the company
He'll backstab you to watch you bleed
Along with the beauty queen
Selling herself for a taste of the scene
Just like the man in green
That's leaving his family
For so called priorities
This nightmare is the American dream
Some will never know
Some will never know
Some will never know
Some will never know!
