Lyrics
Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today
Mass paranoia is a mode not a malady
Yeah, I'd like to watch a thousand cable channels, but there's nothing on
And the high speed connections monitored daily by the pentagon
These things are seldom what they seem
I'm not inclined to enjoy my dreams (won't go away)
(No peace) no peace (and no friends) and no friends
(We trace) we trace the mortal edge (with no defense)
To state the obvious, this world is perilous for us
No sense (no sense) and no guide (no guide)
Ain't it beautiful to be alive? (Yeah right)
I won't resign before the struggle ends
So I'll construct this sound defense
We are the prey and culture is the predator
I'm running out of time where conditions are positional
Shadows of a doubt cast reluctance and depravity
There's got to be a way to overcome this grim reality
Is there an option left for me?
I'm not immune to despondency
There's no way
(No peace) no peace (and no friends) and no friends
(We trace) we trace the mortal edge (with no defense)
To state the obvious, this world is perilous for us
No sense (no sense) and no guide (no guide)
Ain't it beautiful to be alive? (Yeah, right)
I won't resign before the struggle ends
So I'll construct this sound defense
There's a signpost on the corner
And it keeps everybody safe
We were all made in this shape
And your mother's in the kitchen
Where she's patching all the cracks in the wall
We never had a care in the world
Oh-oh, oh-oh
(No shade) too much to sacrifice (and no light), it's hard to recognize
(Just black) traps to compromise (and white), obscuring deadly alibis
(My plans), it's combinational (designs), the pressure's so intense
So I'll construct this sound defense
(No way) nothing's plainer than the madness in the world today
(No sign) I must conceal myself, and steal myself, and break away
(No grace) I see condition in the matters that are black and white
(No sense) so I'll construct this sound defense
