Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today |
|
Mass paranoia is a mode not a melody |
|
Yeah, I'd like to watch a 1,000 cable channels but there's nothing on |
|
And my high speed connection's monitored daily by the Pentagon |
|
These things are seldom what they seem |
|
I'm not inclined to enjoy my dreams |
|
Won't go away |
|
No peace |
|
(No peace) |
|
And no friends |
|
(No friends) |
|
(We trace) |
|
We trace the mortal edge |
|
(With no defense) |
|
To state the obvious |
|
This world is perilous for us |
|
No sense |
|
(No sense) |
|
And no guide |
|
(No guide) |
|
Ain't it beautiful to be alive |
|
(Yeah, right) |
|
I won't resign before the struggle ends |
|
So I'll construct this sound defense |
|
We are the prey and culture is the predator |
|
I'm running out of time where conditions are positional |
|
Shadows of a doubt cast reluctance and depravity |
|
There's gotta be a way to overcome this cruel reality |
|
Is there an option left for me? |
|
I'm not immune to despondency |
|
There's no way |
|
No peace |
|
(No peace) |
|
And no friends |
|
(No friends) |
|
(We trace) |
|
We trace the mortal edge |
|
(With no defense) |
|
To state the obvious |
|
This world is perilous for us |
|
No sense |
|
(No sense) |
|
And no guide |
|
(No guide) |
|
Ain't it beautiful to be alive |
|
(Yeah, right) |
|
I won't resign before the struggle ends |
|
So I'll construct this sound defense |
|
There's a signpost on the corner and it keeps everybody safe |
|
We were all made in the shade and your mother's in the kitchen |
|
Where she's patching all the cracks in the wall |
|
We never had a care in the world |
|
(No shade) |
|
Too much to sacrifice |
|
(And no light) |
|
It's hard to recognize |
|
(Just black) |
|
Traps to compromise |
|
(And white) |
|
Obscuring deadly alibis |
|
(My plans) |
|
It's combinational |
|
(Designs) |
|
The pressure's so intense |
|
So I'll construct this sound defense |
|
(No way) |
|
Nothing's plainer than the madness in the world today |
|
(No sign) |
|
I must conceal myself and steal myself and break away |
|
(No grace) |
|
I seek initiative in matters that are black and white |
|
(No sense) |
|
So I'll construct this sound defense |
