Hey, run for cover There's a live one here Spit and spinning With a manic energy Roll out the carpet This will be our year We'll march along With mindlessness in solitude We've got a lot to lose Pay attention to the signs around You've got a lot of nerve To hear the noise But miss out on the sound Feast onto famine Now the market's bear The static has at last Outshined the melody Oh tranquilizer This will be our year You soothe the symptoms Of this mania We've got a lot to lose Pay attention to the signs around You've got a lot of nerve To hear the noise But miss out on the sound Preaching the chorus to the air Every sheep would rather be a shepherd You'd better pull them by the ear And deaf, defy the drowning of your senses We've got a lot to lose Pay attention to the signs around And if we ever learn To hear the noise But listen to the sound
