This is the breakdown
Try and follow
On the inside I'm crying, dying to ask why
Were working for nothing from 9 to 5
I can feel the exhaustion wearing on me
Can't face the fact that I am not free
Freedom is a lie we've learned to believe like
A book with no pages we pretend to read
Your envy me let me tell you where I came from
I'd run like hell through my imagination
Just to get away from what I didn't understand
Like how a boy becomes a coward and calls
Himself a man and everyone around him pats
Him on the back happily oblivious ignoring all the facts
Knick knack paddy whack give a dog a bone
Sit stay roll over run away from home
This is what we teach to the demons we create
Avoid your inner conscience
And hide from your mistakes
Then lie awake haunted by your fucked up thoughts
Contemplating action afraid of getting caught
This is how we're waiting on the edge
For the problems that haven't happened yet
Paranoia is crawling into our heads, because
This is how we waiting on the edge
I wonder why we're still falling for the same old tricks
It seems like were all broken and need to be fixed
Were like robots supporting the economy thats failing anyways
And won't let us be who we wanna be
It's sickening a world on the go
I need a triple tall extra hot latte and a bluberry scone
And for lunch I'll take a number five with a large diet coke
And an extra side of fries and
You can feed me lie's I'll eat them up to
At night I pray to God and ask him what to do.
This is how we're waiting on the edge
For the problems that haven't happened yet
Paranoia is crawling into our heads, because
This is how we waiting on the edge
And millions of children are dying of hunger
We can't see the lighting, can't hear the thunder
We're going under if things don't change soon
The world will be a dead by tomorrow at noon
Raped of her glory raped of her life
Raped like the husbands rape their wifes
And the wifes have also lost their minds
Drowning their kids and feeding them lies
All in favor of a new world say I
All in favor say I, I
All in favor of a new world say I
All in favor say I, I
I don't wanna sit and wait for shit to hit the fan
But you can if you want with the family
You brought to the land of all the promises
Where all you ever wanted was a chance
To take a stand against the world that took
Your confidence cause you've been on it since
The day you turned ten and your dad said "you
Had to earn money to spend" and thats what
You did to became a part of the system
Working to earn the respect of old rich men
Shining their shoes and pressing their pants
Playing their games and dancing their dance
Basically all in hopes of a chance
A chance to get noticed and may be advance
But let me let you in on little secret
You can package your pride and tell them to keep it
Cause you don't need them
They need you cause you feed them
You do the work while they sit tall
Cause your lucky that you have a job at all right?
This is how we're waiting on the edge
For the problems that haven't happened yet
Paranoia is crawling into our heads, because
This is how we waiting on the edge
All in favor of a new world say I
All in favor say I, I
All in favor of a new world say I
All in favor say I, I
