Most of us living inside our heads
Wondering if we'd be better off dead
Watching another lover abandon our bed
We were believing everything she said,

This is what we got instead
Living in a world of dread
Always being misled
While waiting for the feds,

You and I might as well kiss the sky
So many unholy words to deny
You gave in to the Big Lie
No different between you and I,

Can't live another day if you don't stay
But I guess I will anyway
Being on mother earth another day
This is the price we have to pay,

This is what we got instead
Living in a world of dread
Always being misled
While waiting for the feds,

No way to go back to the womb
There's just too little room
You've had a taste of that silver spoon
Living in your own cocoon,

In a world of shock and pain
I'm a little too deep in the rain
Baby pass that sugar cane
Please ask the devil to restrain!

This is what we got instead
Living in a world of dread
Always being misled
While waiting for the feds,

Though I've done nothing wrong
I was always too head strong
Love in this world doesn't last too long
You're busy writing that swan song,

I'm the captain of this ship
Oh the hull is beginning to rip
Lost my virginity on Sunset Strip
From my wine just one last sip,

On reality you better get as grip
Boy don't you let that obscenity slip
Time to take that terminal trip
She escapes her life at the retail strips,

This is what we got instead
Living in a world of dread
Always being misled
While waiting for the feds.
