Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.
The sunrise,
Get up? wake up?
As dawn sighs,
Wash up? make up?
The trees flow,
Dress up? eat up?
But it?s time now, go!
Step up? gear up?
Step, Step, Step, Step.

Turn the Key,
Pedal down?
As you leave,
Window down?
Radio on,
Volume down?
Pass green lawns,
Drive down?
Into town,
Traffic now?
Honk, Honk, Honk, Honk.

Buzz?n?Noise,
No peace left?
You have no choice,
No calm left?
Everyday,
No time left?
You have no say,
No fun left?
Office drive,
No love left?
Lose your life,
Take a left?
Blink, Blink, Blink, Blink.

Parking lot,
Nothing?s right?
Find your spot,
Turn a right?
Neutral gear,
Standing right?.
Subliminal fear,
Protect your right?
Release the brake,
Cultural right?
For society?s sake,
Ideal right?
Molded make,
Wish just right?
NOTHING?S RIGHT
Slam, Slam, Slam, Slam.

Life is a constant beat, drum.
Life is a constant ca-dence.
Life is a constant Rhyth-m.
Life is a constant Move-ment.
Life is a constant step, sway.
Life is a constant flow, wave?

Echo back-

Beat, drum,
Ca-dence,
Rhyth-m,
Move-ment,
Step, sway,
Flow, wave,
Life is?

[Na'dou]

That pretty much explains what an average life is. You got it right on the mark.
