[verse] It’s a vicious cycle of bills and work and too low pay ‘Bout the time I make ends meet, I find that the ends are already frayed Just when I think I might be getting ahead, I look up to find that I’m behind again [chorus] Running in circles, no way it ever ends Running in circles, getting lost in the bends Running in circles, chasing around and around Pounding the pavement but never getting off of the ground The more I want, the less I receive The harder I try, the less I achieve Running in circles, no way to ever slow down [verse] The world’s moving faster and faster now every day Just when I find the cheese, I’m lost in a brand-new maze I’m getting dizzy and I really want to slow down But every time I try, another bend comes around [chorus] Running in circles, no way it ever ends Running in circles, getting lost in the bends Running in circles, chasing around and around Pounding the pavement but never getting off of the ground The more I want, the less I receive The harder I try, the less I achieve Running in circles, no way to ever slow down [bridge] I feel the tail is chasing the dog I’m just a bump on a spinning log I gotta break free from this race This rats gotta make his escape [chorus] Running in circles, no way it ever ends Running in circles, getting lost in the bends Running in circles, chasing around and around Pounding the pavement but never getting off of the ground The more I want, the less I receive The harder I try, the less I achieve Running in circles, no way to ever slow down [Outro] Round and around and around we go Can it ever stop, hell I don't know Pounding the pavement but never getting off of the ground The more that I want, the less I receive The harder I try, the less I achieve Running in circles Running in circles Running in circles, and no way to ever slow down
