So there's a movie theater behind my eyes
And the people in the audience, they talk all the time
And maybe when i'm older, i'll understand why
The film keeps rolling, rolling on by
And i look at all the billboards, and i feel so good
Standing tall over the old neighborhood
You gotta buy in someday, hey, what do you expect?
You say 'fuck it' for long enough, and it's gonna start finding ways
Of fucking you back
♪
And so you sit in the corner, with a beer and a smoke
You smile, you nod, and you laugh at their jokes
But their words are just syllables, strung end to end
So you sit in the corner and keep playing pretend
I'm telling you, i've lived in squats and i've lived in cars
I've stayed in the guest house and i've slept in the yard
But every place is the same bunk deal
Every town that i've ever been to
They've all got the same bunk feel
So get a pick me up bottle. cos we both need a lift
And we can stand on the corner and look out at the shit
Oh, the shit that they feed us and they want us to see
The shit that they want us to think that we need
They pervade and pervert us subliminally
Their power is subtle, their power complete
And everything's coming apart at the seams
No sound's coming out but i'm trying to scream
We live in a coma, we live in a dream
It's the same damn channel on every tv
And every day is the same exact scene
And i'm sick of staring out from behind this fucking screen!
They live and we are asleep!
They live and we are asleep!
They live and we are asleep!
They live and we are asleep!
They live and we are asleep!
They live and we are asleep!
They live and we are asleep!
They live and we are asleep!
They live and we are asleep!
They live and we
