Standing in line
At the usual time
With a dollar and a dime
Are you going through the motions
Do you wear the latest style
Can you guarantee a smile
Won't you stop and talk awhile
Are you going through the motions
And is your day just a reflection of the day before
Don't you ever stop and wonder if there's something more
Do you really mean to tell me that you're satisfied
Are you for real or are you going through the motions
Heresay theresay
Everything is fine
Are you running out of time
Going through the motions
Some things never change
Easy chair nine to five
Get ahead stay alive
Are you going through the motions
And is your day just a reflection of the day before
Don't you ever stop and wonder if there's something more
Do you really mean to tell me that you're satisfied
Are you for real or are you going through the motions
Stop and take a look around you
Don't say it isn't there
People going through the motions
Everywhere
I know it isn't easy
It gets tougher every day
But we keep going through the motions
Anyway
Going through the motions
