Well it seems like everyday, there are new ways to take your sanity away
And i don't just mean the pills we take, or the x-rays escaping from the television screens
Who we are as humans is killing us and leading us astray
Conversations don't exist, at least not where they matter, well we're sick of these pissing contests
Cause if I can't trust the ones in charge, to find out the solutions,
Then tell me whats a boy like me to do?
Criminals run the show all while we're shackled by necessity
And wipe their ass with paper bills we ration off so carefully
The food they say is safe to eat, These medicines will help your brain
Until you find out otherwise as you writhe in pain
Decide the final scores and find that none of us are winners
Too busy fighting over who's penis or net worth is bigger
Hiding behind computer screens, we don't listen we just speak
And we find ourselves in the places, that we criticize so passionately
Trying to save democracy, despite state sanctioned poverty
Pretending to be allies, wolverines in black sheep clothing, see
This can't just be the way things go
I'm witnessing coalitions, but at the same time great division
Cause no one even tries to understand
What you feel is personal, not necessarily logical
It's easier to hate someone when you don't have to relate
Well let me tell you something, the world isn't so black and white
It never was, like you make it out to be
Fact and fiction intertwine, like cancer from the power lines
And fear is now the emperor behind these picket signs
Nowadays i fear far much more than i can trust
With every web of lies i break they endure and pile up
Until the queen widow dancing circles around my brain
Sucks me dry and forces me up into this game
Imagine how different things could be, if people could admit that they were wrong
Don't take it from me, but i think we'd be much better off
