I was born and raised in a cultural swamp A wasteland where nothing real ever blooms When I roamed young all my dreams Came of off television screens and glossy magazines But soon enough I got fed up So I read up on the underground And what I found turned everything upside down It broke all routines Excess Keep me warm Ignorance Keep me safe Been climbing mountains of plastic While the devil burns holes in my pockets You show me no heed Ain't got what you nee That's ok, never was much of a prophet The water's poison, yet we drink To self-absorbed to notice the stink Excess Keep me warm Ignorance Keep me safe Excess Keep me warm Ignorance Keep me safe We're out of drugs Let's make some new They'll keep our hearts From feeling blue When the world goes up in flames And all we know goes down the drain New distractions replace the old Echoing with promise of fool's gold Without dignity and without depth We'll rape that horse 'til there's nothing left Excess Keep me warm Ignorance Keep me safe Excess Keep me warm Ignorance Keep me safe
