The trickle down effect complete
Let's all repeat the news
As seen on t.v. every day
Now we all got similar views
That say it's all too serious
Get back to sport and clothes
Cos really it's not up to us
Let's leave it to those who know
And I've got to go to somewhere else now
Before I lose my mind
How far to the nearest person
Who hasn't been compromised?
Ignore the facts try to relax
You're a long time dead and gone
You want to feel some empathy?
Just smile and carry on
I see the eyes looking so surprised
When I say 'all this is wrong'
Maybe I should just hang out and stuff
Then I'll feel like I belong
And I've got to go to somewhere else now
Before I lose my mind
How far to the nearest person
Who hasn't been compromised?
The middle ground of knowing how
The system traps our minds
Makes enemies of everything
That isn't recognized
But also makes discoveries
Of better ways to be
The questioning of everything
Will set the answers free
And I've got to go to somewhere else now
Before I lose my mind
How far to the nearest person
Who hasn't been compromised?
Maybe it's you
