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
  
  (Chorus)
  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
  
  (Chorus)
  
  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
