Back before the fall of the old regime was evident
We were stuck running in a circle of embarrassment
And there were rules but nobody knew the terms
And everyone was out of it
And nobody looked another person in the eye
And everyone was so burned out that I knew
Everyone was so burned out
Everyone was so burned out that I knew back then my love
Everyone was so burned out
We were so distracted by bullshit out at every turn
That there were drugs to help you pay attention to important things
But people lost discernment between the crap
And all the things that mattered
Everyone was wondering just how far it would go
And everyone was so burned out that I knew
Everyone was so burned out
Everyone was so burned out that I knew back then my love
Everyone was so burned out
And in the middle of the night you would wake up
With your head in your hands
In the middle of the night you would wake up
In a heated sweat
