[Verse 1]
Your words are irrelevant
It's an epidemic
Hold onto your identity
Or else you might forget it
The world's gone AWOL
Looking for a payroll
Everybody's involved
Everybody's been told
[Chorus]
Running on empty, running on empty
Running on empty, running on empty
You're draining me dry, it's draining me dry
It's draining me dry, asking you why
[Verse 2]
The world's gone AWOL
Looking for a payroll
Everybody's involved
Everybody's been told
Fear is our wildfire
Disfiguring our faces
Envy is a flat tyre
Stopping us from going places
[Chorus]
Running on empty, running on empty
Running on empty, running on empty
You're draining me dry, it's draining me dry
It's draining me dry, asking you why
