Pudding

I bit through my tongue

Just to belong

I'm awake now

But I'm face down

In the shit that gets under your skin

Every enterprise

Built on a white lie

Cannot survive

When its fed by

The system it's meant to protect

Elected officials

Adoring their pistols and booze

We hide in the avalanche

That falls at any excuse

Proof's in the pudding

No harm in looking

If it feels good

And you're insured

Have the money to alter the facts

But you'll get what's coming

All of a sudden

When the wind turns

And thеy have learned

I'll bе praised just for staying intact

Elected officials

Adoring their pistols and booze

We hide in the avalanche

That falls at any excuse

Elected officials

Adorning their women in nude

When will you wake up

And see that it's not any use

Yeah, you pick something and you just keep at it

Till your knuckles bleed and you form a habit

Of avoiding things if you can help it

Yeah, you pick something and you just keep at it

Till you're on your knees in standstill traffic

Yeah, the light turns green if you can help it

Oh, you want something and you just can't have it

And the thought of living on this planet

Is turning everybody fucking rabid

Do you think anyone gives a damn

About your problems or your failed attempts

But no matter what happens next

They can't take your mind away

Yeah, you pick something and you just keep at it

Till your knuckles bleed and you form a habit

Of avoiding things if you can help it

Yeah, you pick something and you just keep at it

Till you're on your knees in standstill traffic

Yeah, the light turns green if you can help it

Do you think anyone gives a damn

About your problems or your failed attempts

But no matter what happens next

They can't take your mind away
