|
Up in a sterilized room |
|
Where they let you be lazy |
|
Knowing your attitude's all wrong and you got to change |
|
And that's not easy |
|
Dragon shining with all values known |
|
Dazzling you, keeping you from your own |
|
Where is the lion in you to defy him? |
|
When you're this weak and this spacey |
|
So what are you gonna do about it? |
|
You can't live life and you can't leave it |
|
Advice and religion, you can't take it |
|
You can't seem to believe it |
|
The peacock is afraid to parade |
|
You're under the thumb of the maid |
|
You really can't give love in this condition |
|
Still you know how you need it |
|
They open and close you |
|
Then they talk like they know you, they don't know you |
|
They're friends and they're foes too |
|
Trouble child, breaking like the waves at Malibu |
|
So why does it come as such a shock? |
|
To know you really have no one |
|
Only a river of changing faces |
|
Looking for an ocean |
|
They trickle through your leaky plans |
|
Another dream over the dam |
|
And you're lying in some room |
|
Feeling like your right to be human is going over too |
|
Well, some are gonna knock you |
|
Some'll try and clock you |
|
You know it's really hard to talk sense to you |
|
Trouble child, breaking like the waves at Malibu |
