Lyrics

Six

[Verse 1]

And you see, I kind of shivered to conformity

Did you see the way I cowered to authority

You see, my life, it's a series of compromises anyway

It's a sham, and I'm conditioned to accept it all, you see

[Chorus]

(More) than I had before

(More) than I've presently got

(More) than I'll ever use up

(More) than I really need

(More) than I had before

(More) than I've presently got

(More) than I'll ever use up

(More) than I really need

(More) than I had before

(More) than I could possibly spend

(More) than I'll ever use up

(More) than I really need

(More) than I had before

(More) than I could possibly spend

(More) than I'll ever use up

(More) than I really need

It's more than I can spare

My religion is caged

[Verse 2]

Safe from progress, purgatory I know

How does this affect me

Emotionally affect me

Will they let me go

Will they let me go

Will they let me go

Equilibrium imbalanced again

[Bridge]

I feel no pain

I feel no...

I feel no pain

The Jabberwocky haunts me, in my memory it's caged

I feel no pain (I feel no pain)

I feel no... (I feel no...)

I feel no pain (I feel no...)

But if you punched me in the stomach then I'd feel it again

I feel no pain

I feel no...

I feel no pain

But if you punched me in the stomach then I'd feel it again

[Refrain]

Life is a compromise anyway

Life is a compromise anyway

Life, it's a compromise anyway

Life, it's a compromise anyway

And it's a sham, and I'll accept it all

Life is a compromise anyway

Life is a compromise anyway

Life, it's a compromise anyway

Life, it's a compromise anyway

And it's a sham, and I'll accept it all

[Verse 1]

And you see, I kind of shivered to conformity

Did you see the way I cowered to authority

You see, and my life, it's a series of compromises anyway

It's a sham, and I'm conditioned to accept it all, you see

[Chorus]

(More) than I had before

(More) than I've presently got

(More) than I'll ever use up

(More) than I really need

(More) than I had before

(More) than I've presently got

(More) than I'll ever use up

(More) than I really need

(More) than I had before

(More) than I've presently got

(More) than I'll ever use up

(More) than I really need

(More) than I had before

(More) than I could possibly spend

(More) than I'll ever use up

(More) than I really need

It's more than I can spare

My religion is caged
