Born Screaming

Lost on a plain with all the remains of history and the gains, here's modern man, primed to fuel demand. Another century is here, and there's a scene of addicts on the dopamine. Born screaming, go out with a sigh. So here's how the story goes: we're slaves, everybody knows. Coerced and undersold, (still) I wait for nothing to happen. Do you ever feel like something here's not right? All the time, all the time in the back of my mind. Do you ever fear there might be something we long to hide? Under the thumb, resigned to lose, contrived to think that you're dumb. So you won't try, cause you'd learn nothing at all! Oh that's a veil hiding the truth, there's power in you if only you would just look. Anticipate "the wake". {Instrumental} Humour is in the contradictions, it's entertaining up to a point but it's still all just a veil hiding the truth. There's power in you if only you would just look. Start screaming break down the divide. So here's how the story goes: we're slaves, everybody knows. Coerced and undersold, (still) I wait for nothing to happen. Do you ever feel like something here's not right? All the time, all the time in the back of my mind. Do you ever fear there might be something we long to hide? Do you ever feel like something here's not right? All the time, all the time in the back of my mind. Do you ever fear there might be something we long to hide? {Instrumental} Heart beating, that feeling, I couldn't shake the scene. The people on the streets, that fleeting hope in generations reels. I woke up in a room I didn't recognise, the colour drained out from my eyes, sent shivers flowing down my spine. Well you might be right when you're telling me the odds are slim, that's fine. But you might be wrong, can you imagine when all this fear has gone?
