lyrics
Hear a generation scream
Ripped out of a fantasy
We rub our eyes in disbelief
Cause we were raised by TV screens
Tell us what we need to hear
To fall under the trance
Hooked us at an early age
We never stood a chance
Everyone says it so it must be true
Don’t look too closely, you might see right through
We’re better off to bury our heads in the sand
Counting backwards down from ten
Soon the world you know will end
Raise me and then ruin me
Feed my insecurities
I’m chasing things that I don’t need
Does my mind still belong to me?
Ignorance is bliss they say
When will we ever learn?
Can we still come back from this
Or are we doomed to watch it burn?!
Tell me how to stay alive
In a world built atop thin ice
When we all fall through
We’ll act surprised
Waste my time
I don’t care if it’s real
I’ll fall in line
Tell me how I should feel
Everyone says it so it must be true
Don’t look to closely, you might see right through
We’re better off to bury our heads in the sand
Counting backwards – Down from ten – It’s getting harder to pretend
Cue the tears and violins
Soon the world you know will end
