Air At The Top by The Magic Lantern Lyrics

We’re running ourselves into the ground, But getting nowhere fast
We’re only here
For another few years
Before we disappear...

So, why can’t we all get along
As simple as that sounds?
You see, I do believe
That we’ve all been deceived
That only the air at the top’s fit to breath

And I’m tired of competing
Forget who we’re supposed to be beating
And when victory’s so pyrrhic
And the moment’s so fleeting
It really makes no sense at all

So, why do we see the steps to the top
As those whom we push down?
Oh I know that you’ll say
Human nature’s that way
And the view from up there will be worth it someday
But aren’t you tired of struggling?
We spend too much time huddling
From some storm or other
Or a fight with each other
It’s lonesome and boring to boot

I believe that we could be better
I believe that we could be friends
I believe we should keep on believing
That the story’s not over ’till it ends
I believe that eventually we’ll succeed
In being what we could be
And not what we are
