amphetamine pill
hallucination machine
chauvinistic advocate
of complacency
the wholesale of goods all for one quantity
but never to me
it's always the same
you'll never speak again
it's almost the same crowd
and i'm not sure what it's all about
five dollar bill
propaganda machine
an unrealistic accident
of conspiracy
everything pleasing is pornography
especially to me
it's always the same
you'll never speak again
it's almost the same crowd
and i'm not sure what it's all about

you told me you weren't sleeping
so how did you think i would feel when you didn't respond
the kids in the streets scream at the slightest of touch and then they run
straight into their mothers arms
it's a long way out
filled with boxes and boxes of useless shit
it's a long way out
and nothing's as good as the box that it came in
two time the day, spend the day with your nights and your nights with your friends
we made big mistakes, we seriously injured some real little people
and it wasn't safe, but then again what really is these days
we'll make our escape, just be sure that your mind don't wander away
it's a long way out
filled with boxes and boxes of useless shit
it's a long way out
and nothing's as good as the box that it came in

seems sad i was only fiending you are not the only one who
feels bad you were only sleeping i am not the only one who
seems sad i was only scheming you are not the only one who
feels bad you were only dreaming i am not the only one who
stayed up until the break of dawn
listening to the birds and trying to understand the song they're singing
seems rather sad as if its about love
i think it's time to go to bed now i'll see you when the sun comes out
i feel afflicted by the pretense of everybody bitchin in the kitchen now i need shock treatments
fabulous fast food got them glued to their shiny flat screens singing mutilated melodies
hollowed out white hearts tower in the dark the road less traveled leads directly to the benchmark
i lost interest in radio and t.v. the minute apathy gave way to complacency
seems sad, especially when you find out you are the only one who seems to be incapable of understanding why the people do the things they do and the safety of redundancy they all seem to pursue
seems sad, especially when you find out there are unlucky ones who didn't burn the script
they're choking on the plastic sunshine they'll never get the fuck off of the assembly line just in time to
stayed up until the break of dawn
listening to the birds and trying to understand the song they're singing
seems rather sad as if its about love
i think it's time to go to bed now i'll see you when the sun comes out

got my own tragedy
no time to think of disease
close my eyes and when death comes to me
i'm alive with no expectations
you've been laying around
haven't moved haven't made a sound
if you're not up than you're down
just stay cool while the ice cream's melting
violins in my bed
spilling out of my head
the song that sang to me is dead
all that's left are indifferent intentions
you should go out and play
cause all that matters slips away
you'll be gone too someday
just stay cool while the ice cream's melting

so you wanna go out for another beer run
well that gets expensive once the liquor stores close
cause the bars they get greedy and charge double at least
my friend what your nights need is usually free
you don't have to take nothing from nobody
you're having doubts, i can see it in your face
that tomorrow will be better than the past couple of days
well im sorry my friend but there are no guarantees
if you give up right now then you never will see
you'll fulfill all your own ridiculous prophecies
but the future isn't hopeless in fact it feel just the same
as it did when i was seven and i could be anything
no matter how stupid no matter how strange
the future isn't hopeless i can be anything
someone tell me my lines i forget where i am
i was probably just gonna say that i love you again
cause when i open my mouth thats all that comes out
either that or a string of ridiculous phrases
either that or a string of obscene praises
but the future isn't hopeless in fact it feel just the same
as it did when i was seven and i could be anything
no matter how stupid no matter how strange
the future isn't hopeless i can be anything
