The Hamster on the Wheel – In today’s fast paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the vicious cycle of perpetual motion. Chasing financial gain so that you can accumulate material things comes at the expense of your relationships with friends, spouses and even your children. You also miss out on the natural beauty that the world has to offer: beautiful sunsets, majestic mountains, and breath taking beaches. So, slow down, savor every moment, and discover true happiness in life.
lyrics
The Hamster on the Wheel
You cultivate a life of perpetual motion
Abiding by its laws with the deepest devotion
Spinning on a wheel as if you’re under a spell of a potion
That has got its hold on you
I know, I know it’s true I do
And deep down you know it is too
The hamster on the wheel’s got nothing on you
You plummet even lower than the depths of the ocean
Flailing endlessly after empty promotions
Spinning on the wheel without the foggiest notion
Of what the world has in store for you
I know, I know it’s true I do
And deep down you know it is too
The hamster on the wheel’s got nothing on you
All of my life I’m searchin’
To be a part of something good
Beautiful and comforting to my soul
You cultivate a life of perpetual motion
Abiding by its laws with the deepest devotion
Never even noticing the moments eroding
Are all memories you’ll never find
I know, I know it’s true I do
And deep down you know it is too
The hamster on the wheel’s got nothing on you
