All the lies that the papers said You can't base your life on what you’ve read It's safe and so sterilized And there's an urgency to the things you find You’ll beat the curve if you wait in line Don't break your heart this time And let it all unwind Just what have we done? We killed a mothers only son Just to remain at number one But I don't have time in my life for this Stand at the brink of a precipice And those same old fears arise With eyes to drawn to counteract The ghost in you comes rushing back Too caustic to subside Just what have we done? We killed a mothers only son Just to remain at number one We parade our benevolence block out the sun Through decades of reveries still number one It's always the same as the words die on our tongues Seek your comfort from above
