lyrics

I like the way we use euphemism in western society
No one ever exactly says exactly what they mean
Makes it ok to be a part of tearing down whoever's not on the team
Someone help me out here 'cause I'm feeling it's just me

Oh now, don't drag me under
Don't blow my cover

Confirmation is all that is necessary
Don't challenge delusions
All we need to know we know already
Don't create confusion

If we had to take a good hard look at all the shit that this shit breeds
We mighta made a better attempt to find out what it is we're seeing
But what escapes us is that we are half the reason this shit breathes
Someone help me out here, I won't believe that it's just me

Oh now, I've got it worked out
Gotta buy in somehow
Habituate the sounds
You no longer pick it out
The constant dumbing down
So when we do we do without
A little bit o' this and a little bit o' that
Whatever that remains is barely nagging at the back
Of my decommissioned brain
As I'm blankly staring at
The face on TV

Come on you giant dicks, credit where it's due
Some of us have brains and don't accept that this is news
If I believe what you are saying then I'm just as fucked up too
I guess I'll have a happy day if I only let it through (who to?)
Maybe it's ok if I only listen to
The face on TV (who to?)
