I am oh so fascinated I am oh so entertained Standing here like a comedian I repeat what I say again and again and again Until the meaning has become an imitation of itself An impression of an original defeats the fucking purpose I don't know where this is going But it's looking more and more like the same place where we started Oh good God, holy shit The joke's on us, not on them Just kids pretending to be astronauts Police officers, and firemen ♪ And everybody's watching the lead singer in the band The guitars explode into a drumbeat that's driving It's pretty fucking boring Oh, don't you think? ♪ And of all the things we'd ask Of all the ways we'd like for it to be They're just drunken conversations Song lyrics sung at the top of our lungs so desperately Like I believe in a power that is of and by the people I believe in an art that cannot be compromised I believe that I will endure, and I will overcome And I will sing it until I no longer remember the reason What was that reason? Oh good God, holy shit The joke's on us, not on them Just kids pretending to be astronauts Police officers, and firemen
