If you could see for once one inch beyond the nose that cuts the air before your face
You would not sing my dear with such high zest about the wonders of this modern world
Is there some place we could go and use each other for a while? I've got so much to disclose I've got five bucks, wait no I don't
If you could see the strings as armies swing through the night the pious pigs that rub the shoulders of the remote controllers
You would scream and shrink upon the ledge before the brink to see the hatred that drives this gilded age
I'm not immune to this In fact I'm sick with the truth It comes like knives flashing on the Senate floor If all we have to give Is our consent and will to live We'll get the country we deserve We'll get the weekends to ourselves
And what passes for community Is a back-lit cult of idolatry
We love and hate the same five things Is this the basis for a lasting friendship? I think not
Don't even try to grab this microphone from my hand I've got a story that demands your undivided attention I bear good news we're going to die pretty soon And then this inkless plot will be effaced
Is there some place we could go and use each other in the dark? I've got so much to get off I've got so much no one wants
I'm not afraid anymore I killed that boy and took his hair withdrew my name from the race I wasn't lame I was estranged
