Civilized
I pay dues at the velvet club,
Sipping violet and gin.
Everybody knows my name,
But no one's looking to make friends.
Small talk it can kill you,
Not from boredom but distress,
'Cause you know there's more to the story
Than what your mouths are getting at.
Have we lost our humanness?
Too civilized to use our senses?
I live to talk to strangers,
I can't talk business without a script.
We made life a competition,
Why do we pretend like we didn't?
Seven thousand dialects,
And we're still inventing words,
Haven't got the language yet
To get to the heart of it.
Have we lost our humanness?
Too civilized to use our senses?
Have we lost our humanness?
Too civilized to use our senses?
And god forbid
You say the wrong thing
In this unforgiving world,
There's no place for your mess,
Except to entertain us.
Go on, entertain us.
Sipping violet and gin.
Everybody knows my name,
But no one's looking to make friends.
Small talk it can kill you,
Not from boredom but distress,
'Cause you know there's more to the story
Than what your mouths are getting at.
Have we lost our humanness?
Too civilized to use our senses?
I live to talk to strangers,
I can't talk business without a script.
We made life a competition,
Why do we pretend like we didn't?
Seven thousand dialects,
And we're still inventing words,
Haven't got the language yet
To get to the heart of it.
Have we lost our humanness?
Too civilized to use our senses?
Have we lost our humanness?
Too civilized to use our senses?
And god forbid
You say the wrong thing
In this unforgiving world,
There's no place for your mess,
Except to entertain us.
Go on, entertain us.
