[00:18.037]Up in a sterilized room
[00:20.806]Where they let you be lazy
[00:27.703]Knowing your attitude's all wrong
[00:30.158]And you got to change
[00:31.882]And that's not easy
[00:37.577]Dragon shining with all values known
[00:42.384]Dazzling you-keeping you from your own
[00:47.347]Where is the lion in you to defy him
[00:50.220]When you're this weak
[00:51.396]And this spacey
[01:02.080]So what are you going to do about it
[01:04.562]You can't live life and you can't leave it
[01:11.850]Advice and religion you can't take it
[01:14.984]You can't seem to believe it
[01:21.646]The peacock is afraid to parade
[01:26.295]You're under the thumb of the maid
[01:31.337]You really can't give love in this condition
[01:34.315]Still you know how you need it
[01:39.696]They open and close you
[01:44.581]Then they talk like they know you
[01:47.873]They don't know you
[01:50.015]They're friends and they're foes too
[01:54.273]Trouble child
[01:56.310]Breaking like the waves at Malibu
[02:27.840]So why does it come as such a shock
[02:30.609]To know you really have no one
[02:37.714]Only a river of changing faces
[02:41.868]Looking for an ocean
[02:47.197]They trickle through your leaky plans
[02:52.003]Another dream over the dam
[02:56.810]And you're lying in some room
[02:58.978]Feeling like your right to be human
[03:01.381]Is going over too
[03:05.770]Well some are going to knock you
[03:10.550]And some'll try and clock you
[03:14.965]You know it's really hard
[03:16.950]To talk sense to you
[03:19.850]Trouble child
[03:22.540]Breaking like the waves at Malibu
