I dreamed I thanked Scott Ian for persistence of time |
| [00:09.93] |
Back when Steve and Eva died that album changed my life |
| [00:12.87] |
It was a package of pure darkness tied up with a silver string |
| [00:16.50] |
Delivered by a fast train rearranging how I think |
| [00:19.83] |
He said "I can't believe you even know that I exist, |
| [00:23.32] |
I've got all of your albums and I think you are the best" |
| [00:26.55] |
He started to cry and I started to laugh |
| [00:29.99] |
I gave him a hug and he gave me his autograph |
| [00:32.18] |
|
| [00:33.57] |
Reeling in my disbelief, I know that it was just a dream |
| [00:39.79] |
All the covers that I see are different from the books I read |
| [00:46.26] |
|
| [00:47.01] |
Everything is crumbling around me |
| [00:49.99] |
Why does everything cost so much money? |
| [00:53.62] |
Could somebody please help out my family? |
| [00:56.61] |
My mom needs hearing aids, new shoulders, and new legs |
| [00:59.85] |
My dad needs a break he works all day every day |
| [01:03.63] |
My brother needs a place and a job where he can make |
| [01:06.71] |
Enough money to take care of his baby |
| [01:09.55] |
|
| [01:11.33] |
Here's a simple dissertation on a complex situation |
| [01:17.75] |
Money and intimidation and mass graves make strong foundations |
| [01:24.27] |
For the giant corporations that own all the TV. stations |
| [01:30.54] |
Telling us to take vacations to their big theme park plantations |
| [01:37.61] |
Rather than to hearts of nations |
| [01:39.25] |
|
| [01:41.04] |
Where we might meet people on the street who say |
| [01:44.47] |
"I don't want my MTV 'cause it brought viva to its knees" |
| [01:50.65] |
And mom and pop are begging "please, globalization's killing me" |
| [01:57.47] |
While we think that they think they need all of the things we think we need |
| [02:04.24] |
Like martha stewart shams and sheets and sugar free powdered iced tea |
| [02:10.81] |
Vanilla coke, lemon pepsi, friends episodes on DVD |
| [02:18.52] |
|
| [02:31.71] |
I went to see the doctor of psychiatry |
| [02:35.05] |
Weapons of mass instruction finally broke me |
| [02:37.98] |
He said "Act your age, don't be afraid, take two of these. |
| [02:41.27] |
Now listen real hard, put down that guitar, |
| [02:44.30] |
Don't be a retard, be all that you can be" |
| [02:48.08] |
|
| [02:48.73] |
The things he said I could be were laid out right in front of me |
| [02:54.60] |
Would I choose deep fried apathy, mcnuggets where my balls should be, |
| [03:01.27] |
Or super sized conformity? I walked away and I'm still me |
| [03:08.04] |
Free to go fucking crazy, free to know why I'm angry |
| [03:15.06] |
One and one and one is three and you and me is all I need |
| [03:21.88] |
Singing songs, drawing cocks, picking locks to locked doors |
| [03:32.28] |
Find deflated hearts, and pump them up |
| [03:37.99] |
|
