stop signs; waking up to your alarm clock
these machines tell you when to stop and start your day
bound by the bands worn on our wrists bound by the suits
we wear to work reminding us we're really no one at all
i feel so sick
when did living
become this?
you've got the world on strings but you won't make a buck off me
i'm gonna cut those strings with the knife you sold me on tv
attending institutions to educate ourselves
that teach us only how to be insignificant
medicating ourselves so we don't get too down
never stopping to think that sometimes we're supposed to be sad
our guide is a screen with images
it tells us how to live and in the breaks it tells us that we need to own
history's most significant development
is the ability to horrifically annihilate ourselves
i feel so sick
when did living
become this?
you've got the world on strings but you won't make a buck off me
i'm gonna cut those strings with the knife you sold me on tv
i learned it on tv
i learned it on tv
