[Verse 1]
I see it in your convoluted daydreams
These never ending quests we're always on
I can't believe the things we give importance to
These foolish goals we set ourselves upon

[Chorus 1]
Are you gonna make this easy?
Are you gonna make this rough? (Hey hey)
This world (This world) gonna make you crazy
If you never have enough

[Verse 2]
Most of what we want is just illusion (Oh)
Most of what we buy won't change a thing (Uh huh)
Most of what we're told is misdirection
Offered up to ease our suffering (Hey hey)

[Chorus]
Are you gonna see the wisdom?
Are you gonna call this bluff?
This world's gonna run you over
If you never have enough

[Bridge]
This is a whole new thing almost like a new religion (Religion)
The lights are always on, the doors are never locked
We ride in on the light, the shelves are overstocked

[Verse 3]
Everybody's got their own connection
Everybody's hopin' they can score (Mmm hmm)
Everybody's lookin' for perfection (For perfection)
Everybody wants a little more (A little more)

[Chorus]
Are you (Oh, are you) gonna be addicted?
Are you (Are you) gonna give it up?
This world's (This world, this world) gonna drive you under
If you (If you) never have enough (Ow)

[Outro]
Oh, are you? (Are you?)

As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.

In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. The Night Moves title track became his first Billboard Top 5 single and the album started a string six consecutive albums landing in the Billbaord Top 10. The 1980 album, Against the Wind, topped the charts.
