Predefined, cut 'n' dried
Nodding by default
Crack a smile, stay in line
And keep the volume low
Speakers chant in unison
News already old
Why break a sweat
All is fine you know
So we don't bother to move the needle
And sit down at the set table
Give me a hint
I don't know what to make of this
Surreal, is it fake?
A little clue wouldn't go amiss
Show me how to behave
Should I be pleased?
Should I be afraid?
You say the same as everyday
Keep the pace
We give, they take
(They take)
(We give, they take)
Mesmerising monologues
Calm and self-involved
Soaring thoughts
Drowned by drowsy dial tones
We're taken in by
Bland wines with golden labels
Well here's to you
Feels like all fool's day
The whole year through
Give me a hint
I don't know what to make of this
Surreal, is it fake?
A little clue wouldn't go amiss
Show me how to behave
Should I be pleased?
Should I be afraid?
You say the same as everyday
Keep the pace
We give, they take
What do you want me to say?
We're lost in a maze
What do you want me to say?
We're lost in a maze
Tried to find a new delight
Tried to fill the void with a new light
Tried to find a new delight
Tried to fill the void with a new light
Give me a hint
I don't know what to make of this
Surreal, is it fake?
A little clue wouldn't go amiss
Show me how to behave
Should I be pleased should I be afraid
You say the same as everyday
Keep the pace
We give, they take
What do you want me to say?
