you're faced with too much information
and you've got no time to pick through it all
so you lie, confused, in your bed so late
thinking about the many ways you could trip and fall
you don't know where to run
every house is locked and gated
you forgot how to have fun
IRONIC and ALIENATED
at least you have a job to pay the bills
and at least you have someone to keep you warm at night
but you keep on looking for the words between the lines
and the words between the lines are always printed white
you don't know where to run
cataleptic: your breath is bated
you forgot how to have fun
IRONIC and ALIENATED
don't blame your dear mother
don't blame your dear ol' pop
don't even blame the world around you
or none of this will stop
well you know just how to scramble up your brains
but do you know just how to simplify a thought?
if i were you, and i am, i'd stop collecting facts
that back the truth that life is mostly good for nought
you don't know where to run
every house is locked and gated
you forgot how to have fun
IRONIC and ALIENATED
