listen can you hear it, the sound of a society
where no one ever takes any responsibility
everything's presented as if it were all pre-ordained
no one can change anything, no need for someone to explain
the politician says the budget was unable to be balanced
justice failed to be observed, mass weapons undetected
the environment was unconcerned, the votes were not respected
the people failed to notice when their privates were inspected

well i just want to say the opinions in this or any song
don't necessarily represent (my hosts or sponsors)
so if you have a problem with this or any other song
i just want to say so you don't get it wrong
i'm singing this one on my own

imagine if you applied this principle to your own life
think of all the things you could say are out of your control
the material has not been learned, the exam failed to be studied for
sleep was not disturbed, my job was not attended

tthe television's full of people killing each other randomly
the cinema's aglow with psychos, vampires and the walking dead
the army's building robots so it can invade just anyone
the well trained assassin says its just a job that must be done

(my fellow musicians)

it must be wonderful to be a leader (the people were not educated)
to have the power to do so much (peace was not pursued)
to fix the problems of our time (poverty was unaffected)
pass the profits all around (no crimes were ever proven)

what if you make it personal, say: my addiction was predestined
my career failed to happen, my life was never lived
wouldn't it be great if we could simply be restarted
so everything could be repaired with no effort from ourselves
