Desperate Lives (feat. Wolfgang Kreditsch-Gokesch)

Did you hear about the guy next door
Just collapsed on the stairs last week?
Or the lady who died next to me
On the bus to River Creek?
Does the constant strain on our minds
Create a vibe full of fear
Does the mood of hate deliver on
Us getting nowhere near?

We're living desperate lives
The closer we get to our final hours
Can't tell if we're dead or alive
It's a nerve-wrecking fight that we put on

To be honest with you
Sometimes it's way more than I can take
As we're living through times
That seem so prone to forge and fake
Social ailment treated with placebos
Out of this minstrel show
When the masters of smoke and mirrors
Leave us out of the know

We're living desperate lives
The closer we get to our final hours
Can't tell if we're dead or alive
It's a nerve-wrecking fight that we put on

Social ailment treated with placebos
Out of this minstrel show
When the masters of smoke and mirrors
Leave us out of the know

We're living desperate lives
The closer we get to our final hours
Can't tell if we're dead or alive
It's a nerve-wrecking fight that we put on

We're living desperate lives
The closer we get to our final hours
Can't tell if we're dead or alive
It's a nerve-wrecking fight that we put on
