How small I am in this world
How small we feel beside it
How small we are on the earth when we weigh out feats
How small we are when we see
How it is treating you and me.

How small I am in this time
How small's my step to insight
How small I have to be to insure my life
How small we are, the only thing
We can dream of stores some minutes far from here.

The show goes on,
The unions tinker at headlines
That twist our brain in our head.
Let the people tell about their problems
Which are theirs and not really ours.
I am so small in this world.

How small I am in this world
How small we feel beside it
How small we are on the earth when we weigh out feats
How small we are when we see
How it is treating you and me.

Interest rates fall
We collapse by noting declining growth rates.
We pray for success and big fun,
Not to imagine what would happen
If TV stopped one day and prices got free.
We are so small in this world.
