I had such great expectations of the world's benevolence
|
Of benevolence
|
I prefer hallucinations 'cause they tend to make more sense
|
Than experience
|
|
But it was just another sneak attack of temporary sanity
|
It was a pleasant stay, but now I'm back from temporary sanity
|
My temporary sanity
|
|
I began to grow dependent on a thing called common sense
|
It was common sense
|
But my world grew too resplendent that the strain was too intense
|
Without self-defense
|
|
The pool spreads 'cross the pavement where the sniper made him lie
|
And he looks just like my youngest, and I'm watching him die
|
I must remind myself I've seen this, it's all ancient history
|
One long trail of twisted bodies as the strong crush the weak
|
We must be crazy, we are crazy, this is our natural state
|
As our children die around us, we just sit here and wait
|
For a little temporary sanity
|
Some temporary sanity
|
|
There's a chance that we would still get the picture
|
If reality just came up and bit ya
|
But the news team would never report it
|
Because there's too much evidence to support it
|
If we was stupider the problem would vanish
|
But our brains are much more than we can manage
|
We say we want something so bad we can taste it
|
But once we get it, then we turn 'round and waste it
|
We got a twisted fixation with the marketplace
|
And every sufferin' soul is just another face
|
We think we're bein' manipulated from outer space
|
It's the collective guilty conscience of the human race
|
We get joyful when we look upon a lesser man
|
A specimen we can be sure that we're better than
|
There is no shortage of supply of pride and vanity
|
There is no explanation but INSANITY
|
|
You're listening to Prozac while the message goes unheard
|
It's the final word
|
|
We must be crazy, we must be crazy
|
There's no explanation so we must be crazy
|
