FREAKSHOW
“Whoop it up without any social responsibility for our lives…
We’re going right now through a kind of a lunatic phase”

Product surveys, ringtone culture, custom made to work for you
Get super models, terror alerts, in equal servings from the news
Commercial matters, pitch and spin, financial crisis, what’s the truth?
We’re all obsessed with Charlie Sheen while we ignore a war or two

I think for now I’ll just avoid the fucking freakshow
I think I’ll stay at home and mind my own affairs
I’ve seen enough to know you’re all a bunch of zombies
We’re all corrupt, this world’s fucked up and no one really cares

“These people are living in some sort of never-never land…Of illusions, slogans, passions, convictions – very unrelated to reality”

Interest rates and 3D shopping, Opinion polls, we’re so confused
Restructured debt, convenience store, a Slurpee waiting just for you
Big box items, basement prices, discounts like you’ve never seen
A shiny package sells itself, impulse purchase, feel complete
Movie sequels, repeat patterns, gasoline is priced to move
Legislate away our problems, solve it like we always do
Backroom deals and corporate handshakes sealed with a wink and nod
It’s pay to play, absurd our culture, flying with our blinders on

I think for now I’ll just avoid the fucking freakshow
I think I’ll stay inside and lock all the doors
I’ve seen enough to know you’re all a bunch of morons
We’re all corrupt, this world’s fucked up, it’s rotten to the core

“This is a prescription for social conflict, in addition to economic paralysis”
“You can look out the window and see the top of the hill, where everybody has everything, and they get their pitchfork and decide to try and take the hill”

Add up all the good that you’ve ever done, multiply that amount times 5
Still it’s not enough to change what’s wrong here
Or even make a difference, ‘cause believe me I’ve tried
Add up all the good that you’ve ever done, multiply that amount times 9
(it’s a goddamn mess)
Still it’s not enough to change what’s wrong here
(it’s a goddamn mess)
Or even make a difference, ‘cause believe me I’ve tried
(it’s a goddamn mess)

“Stagnant, social, highly differentiated society”
“The only way to fix it is to address it over and over and over again”

Hyper-contact one another, instant access, think and do
Found a way to ruin mystery, picture and a status too
Social justice, welfare state, healthcare you can pick or choose
They’ll more likely let you die, just as soon as look at you

I think for now I’ll just avoid the fucking freakshow
I think I’ll stay at home and mind my own affairs
I’ve seen enough to know you’re all a bunch of zombies
We’re all corrupt, this world’s fucked up and no one really cares
(it’s a goddamn mess)
I think for now I’ll just avoid the fucking freakshow
(it’s a goddamn mess)
I think I’ll stay inside and lock all the doors
(it’s a goddamn mess)
I’ve seen enough to know you’re all a bunch of morons
(it’s a goddamn mess)
We’re all corrupt, this world’s fucked up, it’s rotten to the core
