State of the Union

Sweet dreams all met with derision This train, it was armed for collision It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame Clap your hands in the sparkle and glitter Shake your heads at the twisted and bitter Oh they don't know how lucky they are Foot down for the alienation Look on as your love, its gets lost in translation To a language that nobody understands There are smiles as they erode and corrupt you Of the great expectations you could never live up to We are lost, we are lost, we are lost Get your coat 'cos the righteous are leaving 'Cos they can't work out what the hell to believe in It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame No abandon, no heartfelt desire No love could be worth getting fired For real, it's surreal, it's so real So paint over the cracks and then cover What you thought was the worst ever pain with another And the first one, it always comes free How they love you so cold and so vicious With friends like these, well who needs politicians The first one, its always comes free They tell you heroin takes like ice cream The clever men know all that and all this And they will talk and they talk and the don't fucking listen It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame Well, it's no life but God, it's a living Come on Jesus Christ, come back all is forgiven We are lost, we are lost, we are lost And have no fear of the state of the nation Let the facts have no bearing on public relations It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame What a model of Christian behavior Preach on with the message of, go fuck thy neighbor It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame It's a shame, it's a shame Watch your step by the crowd of fanatics While they kill in the name of applied mathematics And you, you hate the system even though you invented it And go kill your brothers and claim self defense of it Picking up all the secrets and the tricks to being One of the guys whom the shit never sticks to Take you seats for the final calamity Don't you look serious, hell, what can the matter be?
