Clockwork County

I've been feeling really sick since the falling of the towers
Scared for my life every minute every hour
Bored to death I scream every time I watch the
screen
The news portrays it all as a deadly, gruesome scene

So I go to the place where I can feel fine
Home of sandy beaches and another state of mind
To some it's a reminder of a world gone blind
To me it's just a chance to control my mind
Making friends isn't hard if you create a nice story
About your job, your friends and your status and your glory
People here care about the car I drive
But I'll do whatever it takes to survive
The people seem nice but I can't help but feel
That everywhere I go I'm being judged for being real
Behind closed doors no one remembers my name
'Cause I'm not the one who can bring them fame

Tossed in the ocean and left to drown
Living like a cog in this numbing machine, this is what it feels like to be absorbed

Clockwork county
Protect me from the outside world

Clockwork county
Raising scared little boys and sheltered little girls

Clockwork county
Protect me from the truth

Clockwork county
This world's no place for you

Now I'm surrounded by ten thousand smiling faces
They all look the same but they come from different places
I really felt I had nowhere else to go
And I've ditched my bike for a really big truck, bro
I feel a little calmer now I feel like no one
cares
When I mention politics I get nothing but blank stares
As long as I dress and I act the same way
In clockwork county I'm allowed to live another day
