Famous Aimless

Well, I heard they built an island in the Pacific
Size of Texas, made of plastic
Well, I heard they built a bomb that could mow us all down
That won't make a sound

Well, I-, well, I heard they built a monument to broken things
To money, power, fame, all it brings
Where people gather 'round in their diamond rings
Hoping things start spreading

While another day goes by
There's famous aimless and I don't know why
On television screens, in our dreams, in our magazines
Shine so bright like the stars in the sky

So tell me what it is I know
I must be missing something but I'm not so sure
So tell me all the days, all the ways, all the time it takes
All the real, all the fakes, where this show

Will go, oh-oh
Will go, oh-oh
Will go, oh-oh
Will go, oh-oh

Well, I heard they found a message written on the sun
Said love's the only way to end what we begun
They're keeping it a secret, got a race to run
More money to come

Well, I saw my baby born, saw my father die
I felt a cold wind blow, heard my mother cry
Stood in a hurricane, fell under the sky
Found a road, kept treading

While another day goes by
There's famous aimless and I don't know why
On television screens, in our dreams, in our magazines
Shine so bright like the stars in the sky

So tell me what it is I know
I must be missing something but I'm not so sure
So tell me all the days, all the ways, all the time it takes
All the real, all the fakes, where this show

Will go, oh-oh
Will go, oh-oh
Will go, oh-oh
Will go, oh-oh

If we keep running to escape
Going in circles, finding ways
To envy, conspire, covet, hate
Then we'll just be wasting our time
Falling behind, heeding no sign
Stuck neither asleep nor awake

Another day goes by
There's famous aimless and I don't know why
On television screens, in our dreams, in our magazines
Shine so bright like the stars in the sky

So tell me what it is I know
I must be missing something but I'm not so sure
So tell me all the days, all the ways, all the time it takes
All the real, all the fakes, where this show

Will go, oh-oh
Will go, oh-oh
Will go, oh-oh
Will go, oh-oh

Will go, oh-oh
Will go, oh-oh
Will go, oh-oh
Will go, oh-oh
Will go, oh-oh
