lyrics
I don't want to wake up why's it have to be me
The problems at hand have outgrown our apathy
Billions of images every word in every document
Pull the blankets over me I don't want to deal with it
For the first time our eyes aren't shut
But the light of day is too much
It's not that we don't care
We just gave up
Those who ruined our lives propose a toast
Meanwhile we can't decide which neighbors we hate the most
Give us enemies and dreams to dream
And you can sow the seeds that we're forced to reap
All this stimulation had to become meaningless
How we came to deal with it all we feel is entertainment
Our elders invent simplier problems and each other take the blame
They clutch onto the past while we mock everything away
For the first time our eyes aren't shut
But the light of day is too much
It's not that we don't care
We just gave up
Those who ruined our lives propose a toast
Meanwhile we can't decide which neighbors we hate the most
Give us enemies and dreams to dream
And you can sow the seeds that we're forced to reap
The sky is falling - the sky is falling
We need someone to blame
The sky is falling - the sky is falling
We can't deal with the pain
So I'll just live my life in exile
Desensitized and in denial
Comfort bliss and willful ignorance
Man the gates and block all substance
Content in my divide
It's everybody's fault but mine
The problems at hand have outgrown our apathy
Billions of images every word in every document
Pull the blankets over me I don't want to deal with it
For the first time our eyes aren't shut
But the light of day is too much
It's not that we don't care
We just gave up
Those who ruined our lives propose a toast
Meanwhile we can't decide which neighbors we hate the most
Give us enemies and dreams to dream
And you can sow the seeds that we're forced to reap
All this stimulation had to become meaningless
How we came to deal with it all we feel is entertainment
Our elders invent simplier problems and each other take the blame
They clutch onto the past while we mock everything away
For the first time our eyes aren't shut
But the light of day is too much
It's not that we don't care
We just gave up
Those who ruined our lives propose a toast
Meanwhile we can't decide which neighbors we hate the most
Give us enemies and dreams to dream
And you can sow the seeds that we're forced to reap
The sky is falling - the sky is falling
We need someone to blame
The sky is falling - the sky is falling
We can't deal with the pain
So I'll just live my life in exile
Desensitized and in denial
Comfort bliss and willful ignorance
Man the gates and block all substance
Content in my divide
It's everybody's fault but mine
