lyrics

everybody plays by the twisted rules
and I know that no laws, principles or speeches
will turn packed prisons into public schools
to feed bondfires, we’ve been burning our bridges

marked-down prices on the walls are supposed to make my mouth water
but i can’t recall a deal that was better than the free light and air and clear water to share

everyone does it by the empty book
that clowns stick in your hand when you rush in the subway
and daily my desperate neighbours are begging for a look
but see, I’m too concerned with my very own display

discounted products in the malls are supposed to make me go wild
but I still have the needs of a child : a roof above my head and enough to be fed

I bought a cellphone, and I bought a TV, and then a computer, I own it all
oh, I feel so lonely, but I have 300 friends, so how can it be ? where’d I go wrong ?
