Lyrics

Look at the people rushing around
They look so flustered and foolish
They think that if they stop for a second
The world will stop turning and they will fall down

They're like hamsters on a wheel
Keep on running and running, just keep it turning
Like hamsters on a wheel
Just keep it turning and don't let it stop

Look at the children being put through the motions
Make sure they grow up to be driven and headstrong
Don't ever let them stop for a second
Or the world will stop turning and they will fall down

They're like hamsters on a wheel
Keep on running and running, just keep it turning
Like hamsters on a wheel
Just keep it turning and don't let it stop


Listen to all the chattering voices
They never give in to silence
They think that if they stop for a second
The world will go under and they will all drown

They're like hamsters on a wheel
Keep on running and running, just keep it turning
Like hamsters on a wheel
Just keep it turning and don't let it stop

Keep on running and running and running and running
And running and running and running and running
And running and running and running and running
And running and running, but if you stop you will notice how

Sweet life can be, how sweet life can be,
How sweet life can be, how sweet life can be
How sweet life can be, how sweet life can be,
How sweet life can be, how sweet life can be

Hamsters on a wheel, hamsters on a wheel

Keep on running and running and running and running
And running and running and running and running
And running and running and running and running
And running and running, but if you stop you will notice how

Sweet life can be, how sweet life can be,
How sweet life can be, how sweet life can be
How sweet life can be, how sweet life can be,
How sweet life can be, how sweet life can be
