[Chorus 1]
My new fashion is the ultimate reaction
Proactivity, proactivity, yeah
No more waiting for what fate may be creating
Proactivity, proactivity, yeah

Keepin' an eye on that karma goin' by
Proactivity, proactivity, yeah
Ever ready and my gaze is rock steady
Proactivity for me, proactivity, yeah

[Verse 1]
Wake up and face the animal in you
The frightened lizard that wants to win you
That wants the madness to continue
Screwed into every sinew

Go on pretending you don't know the ending
All the things that you weren't intending
But your broadcast continued sending
Now you're just hoping to blend in

[Chorus 2]
Keep on fakin', it's a fake world you're making
Proactivity, proactivity, yeah
Air keeps stinking while we sit here thinking
No activity, proactivity, yeah
Crash test dummies never saw it coming
Inactivity, proactivity, yeah
I can't teach it, no one else is gonna fix it
Proactivity for me, proactivity, yeah

[Verse 2]
Look who's talkin', the last believer
I'm the one who was happy with neither
The last to come and the first to leave it
I tossed my faith in the river

My mistake, my philosophy busted
I watched my future become encrusted
I had a dream, but refused to trust it
Now I've finally sussed it

[Outro - Guitar solo]
