[00:08.40]history doesn't make something right
[00:12.31]consensus is not a fact-based exercise
[00:16.46]you're tied and bound to this self-indulgent enterprise
[00:22.86]we call America
[00:35.56]a brush with a star, a token of love
[00:39.39]a name in the sand, enough is enough
[00:42.61]a diet of air, a face on the net
[00:47.03]a fish in your palm, your television set
[00:51.24]once you convince yourself
[00:55.01]the universe falls into place
[00:58.84]you've got your ideas
[01:00.51]and your posse of friends
[01:02.67]you all make up rules
[01:04.12]and the fun never ends
[01:06.23]but still there's a problem, leaves you gasping for air
[01:09.95]you look for some meaning, blank smiles are all that's there
[01:13.96]and still water stales a soft summer breeze
[01:17.65]you cling to your hopes while you drop to your knees
[01:21.44]there's no substance!(2x)
