The Scientist

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The Scientist rubs his weary eyes Says "Seriously, I just realized," That I used to be employed Doin' things that I enjoyed But nowadays I just do things Back when I first started out I only worked on things I cared about Now I take the checks and I just do whatever's next And every single day has come to seem [Chorus 1] More and more familiar Familiar Familiar And I guess everything's alright When you get down to it I suppose everything's alright [Verse 2] The Drive home gets longer every day There's no real hurry any way 'Cause home is just a place Where all the children's faces look a bit too much like his best friend Dinner will be uninspired And the wife will probably be too tired The kids will act like freaks And when he finally gets to sleep He'll be appalled to see just how many dreams have come to be [Chorus 2] Familiar Familiar Familiar And everything's alright I guess everything's alright I guess everything's alright Somehow everything seems wrong [Verse 3] Either I have lived too long Or in some strange way I did things wrong Because I feel like I should say a fond hello to each new day But I found I'm sayin' "Here we go again."
