lyrics
Machines like you and me are a dream.
They watch us toss and turn in our routines,
revealing, in static, a work that's quietly unraveling.
Oh, go and cry about it.
We're creatures of habit, I know,
and it's much too soon to make a change in myself.
I would if I were able.
I wouldn't ask myself that same old question:
Are we too far along this road?
We're all hypocrites with our peace and love shit.
Can you blame us? Can you blame?
Can you blame the habit? If we're all hypocrites,
Comfortably a numbness fits with our peace and love shit.
Can you blame us? Can you blame the habit?
Can you blame the great design?
We're all hypocrites. Comfortably a numbness sets in,
Comfortably a numbness sticks cause we're all hypocrites.
Can you blame the great design? Can you blame...
The world is so fucked and no one gives a damn.
We're creatures of habit, I know,
and it's much too soon to make a change in myself.
I would if I were able.
I wouldn't ask myself that same old question:
Are we too far along this road?
