Affected by what you had lost They're not the habits you'd protect At any cost Blur the details of your hand Anything your barren conscience Can't defend The limits of attention span Successive thoughts you don't have But you still pretend Keep on talking anyway Protected by what you know No one will ever say Because you can't be pure You're self-assured |

When it's time to leave this place I'll follow what comes easy Elude the human race Discover what still feeds me And if my interest is waning I can't fake it Your captive audience Escaped for "soul renovation" I know I might be wrong But I'm sick of pretending I've listened to you too long And nothing's ever mended You can stretch the truth And patience wears you so thin It's just as easy to see through Your high self opinion |

I'm not so good realizing Who I can or cannot trust It's best to keep what matters vague With harmless lies I can adjust I get a "D" for disappointment Now there's nothing to regret Everybody's good for something At least you know what you won't get I let you down again What's another harmless Lie between friends? Now you can be disappointed I thought I gave you just exactly What you wanted |

I'm paralyzed Just listening to you Now I am receptive I know you sleep So sound every night And you are deceptive It always feels good to be right And if it helps you sleep at night I'll tell you what you want to hear And act like I care |

Confront the daily setbacks All the lows and highs With anesthetic means I'm Fit to socialize Driving nowhere fast Accelerate to pass Now I've got time to kill at last Bombing hometowns I can Watch it free from harm United Arab Emirates Still keep the gas in my car Driving nowhere fast Accelerate to pass Now I've got time to kill at last Keep the gas in my car Let me go far I'm driving nowhere fast Accelerate to pass Now I've got time to kill at last |

All the good that you discover In people that you hate Draw them close and pencil thin Then they're easy to erase You've got it down just feed them lines And watch them starve to death Keep them crowded and short of air Then you can take their last breath I'd rather be insulted by you Than someone I respect If I don't share the same view It's just my birth defect All the good that never comes From always getting your way |

I like the way you set yourself goals The blind ambition you sport like New clothes There's nothing bold in the posture You wear It's always stunning to show you care You're so outspoken, the status quotient Brought up to peak broadcast emotion As calculated as the news is At least you've got yourself impressed Appropriated, the concepts you boast You love the sound of you own voice You're always vocal, affecting passion Wholesale options will stay in fashion |

If I'm half informed Sympathize because it's easy to get bored I don't have time to waste I'm busy cultivating useless good taste You need to know how to lie The savage civil servant's beady eyes I can call him names And maims Then we'll only see eye to eye And every breath expelled is wasted And somebody manage the same lie I'll spread some more good news Invented facts that you know you Can use Sell them door to door with Religious fervor that no one can ignore It's so easy to get bored It's so easy to get bored It's so easy to get bored It's so easy to get bored |

You're everything you want to be Accomplished, gracious and great company It makes perfect sense, you're never hated But then, appearances are overrated You speak the language everyone knows Take over when the conversation shows Another self-made luminary or Maybe just the fucking tooth fairy I'd send that brain you ration To feed the smallest starving nation But diet aftertaste is rude And I can't digest a single word |

You're comfortable as the poison dunce, Completely oblivious This might come as a big surprise But since you've been sterilized You won't bite back You've always been cut too much slack And now you're primed To have a great time Milk-fed full of boldfaced lies Canned and homogenized Perpetuated by the myth Impassiveness equals intelligence But you're a star Just like any accomplished liar You can make it at last Never let a good lie pass |

It's never easy being ignored When you're worshipped and adored Attention starved, inflatable An ego that is insatiable You've always been so superior Avoid eye contact with the mirror I still admire your toned exterior I need somebody to hate I need someone that I can imitate The attention that I crave It's self-esteem that I can almost save |

If you're inclined to complain It doesn't matter, he's got greater pain Any crisis takes its toll Then he'll get down, let the bad times roll You'll never go down fighting You'll just go down The crisis king is mighty In a crisis showdown The sole provision he needs to live Is what he can take, he's got nothing To give You'll never go down fighting You'll just go down The crisis king is mighty In a crisis showdown |
