lost in the haze so far away how can we get back home
|
lost in the haze so far away who's going to guide us home
|
|
i've struggled to get near it to backwards engineer it
|
but all i find is a smoke and mirror game
|
the recondite monopolise the airwaves
|
till all believe there is no other way
|
|
and this is how we live our lives our opium is televised
|
till finally they watch us fade away
|
|
our lifeless generation is going to the wall
|
a languid demonstration of daze before a fall
|
a preconceived condition imagined long ago
|
but will we ever know all that lies below
|
|
they'll print it on the front page to synthesise an outrage
|
but all we find is a decoy once again
|
duplicity and trickery surround us
|
till all believe there is no other way
|
|
and this is how we fall asleep their opium is running deep
|
till finally they watch us fade away
|
|
our lifeless generation is going to the wall
|
a languid demonstration of daze before a fall
|
a preconceived condition imagined long ago
|
but will we ever know all that lies below
|
|
waiting to play are we the pawns in this game
|
paving the way watching the kings make their claim
|
martyrs and spies although we don't realise
|
falling away under the watch of their eyes
|
|
this is the way we've chosen to be
|
this is the road that we go down
|
as clear as the day but still we don't see
|
we'll only know when it's over
|
|
lost in the haze so far away how can we get back home
|
lost in the haze so far away who's going to guide us home
|
|
and this is how our nation died our opium has satisfied
|
and finally they watch us fade away
|
|
our lifeless generation is going to the wall
|
a languid demonstration of daze before a fall
|
a preconceived condition imagined long ago
|
but will we ever know all that lies below
