Lyrics

Suckers

Summon some willpower to weather the walk
Don't run, suffer the three flights up
Some folks still willing to pay five bucks
Don't die in the meantime, love

Tone-deaf dumb comment, set the whole chain off
Insane levels of a violent mob
Shared it, clicking the bait, but I won't
Don't get it contaminated love

Hot, not hot summer day, but I'm cold
I'm coming down with the rain
I'm through with finding some other way
Every night in my room
Who's the product, me or you?

Small opinions, commentators of what?
Puffed up, scroll the finance page by thumb
Take us for suckers, we suck it up
But not forever the beginnings come

The storm is not the wave
The heat is not the sun
The voice is not the call
The world behind a wall

The hands are not the touch
The eyes are not the view
The voice is not the call
The world behind a wall
The world behind a wall
The world behind a wall

If you feel so bad, bad about it
Then step out from behind the wall of the world
If you feel so bad, take a look from the outside
You've been staring at the wall, never watching the world

If you feel so bad, bad about it
Then step out from behind the wall of the world
If you feel so bad, take a look from the outside
You've been staring at the wall, never watching the world

Find another frequency, you remember the melody
There's something more beyond the wall of the world

If you feel so bad, bad about it
Step out from behind the wall of the world
You've been staring at the wall, never watching the world
There's something more beyond the wall of the world
