Sun rises in the east, goes down in the west
You're a little bit scared, a little hair upon your chest
They threw you to the wolves, put you to the test
Seems you can't have more, and you won't settle for less
You try to hold your head up, you try to do your best
but you used to be so happy, now you're so depressed
Then one day you wake up, I think you know the rest
You're surfacing in the real wilderness
surfacing in the real wilderness
in the real wilderness

Sun sets in the west, comes up in the east
and you're wonderin' if you'll ever be released
In shackles so long, your spirit is deceased
and it seems your famine is anyone's feast
Your wheels are turnin' slower, your heartbeat is increased
You think you're part man, you know you're part beast
or a cog in the machine that's long obsolete
Are you lost in the woods? No that is the street
surfacing in the real wilderness
in the real wilderness

Woke up in the embryo
He wanted to see, he wanted to know
Born in the metropolitan jungle
He was learning fast but it was still too slow
Faces floating north and south
Cars and buses that ugly sound
and when his feet first hit the ground
he knew that he could never go with that flow
no no no

If everyday ain't judgment day, then logic is a whim
of the prehistoric human, then we're back where we begin
When a fool runs out of questions, then it's out of his control
There's no time for easy listening for the one without a soul

He is the missing link (Man is the missing link)
He doesn't know what he should think (You don't know what to think)
or is he on the brink?
nononononono

In your state of independence, there's no place for innocence
I caught a glimpse of what makes you dance
and it seems your bliss is ignorance
It's lonely lonely lonely world when everybody stays inside
Your eyes they seem so far away
Are you looking for a place to hide?

He is the missing link (Man is the missing link)
He doesn't know what he should think (You don't know what to think)
or is he on the brink?
nononononono

Neanderthal to business man
He knew but he wanted to understand
He's not about to figure out
what comes next in the master plan

Hated cause he takes the chances that you could never take
Instantly he feels the things you've somehow come to fake
It seems you're so afraid to bend, when he would dare to break
and if the moment caught you sleeping, he was wide awake

He is the missing link (Man is the missing link)
He doesn't know what he should think (You don't know what to think)
or is he on the brink?
