Lyrics:

Pardon if I interrupt

This inconsequential day

For it seems my time is short

And I've many things to say

This world that we inhabit

Is dangerous

Wonderous

Cruel

But society

It crushes me

Binds me up with rules

I cannot take the easy way

Into complicity

Just another feeble voice

Lost in the machine

I feel I'm suffocating

I feel that I'm denied

The ability

To become

The person I aspire

I'm always an outsider

I'll never compromise

But I am tired of fighting all the lies

 

My body is a traitor

A witness to the crime

Taunting me with greed and hunger

Aching all the time

It holds me as a hostage

A bitter

Twisted slave

Doing everything it can

To reach an early grave

My mind is just as guilty

It schemes against my will

Reversing every sane decision

With persuasive skill

My friends don't seem to notice

Wrapped up in their own lives

And family

They try to help

But simply patronise

There is no one left to turn to

And no one understands

The misery

I suffer

In this land

 

In the land of misery

It's just another day

In the land of misery

It's just another day

So why do you stay?

 

And everyone is talking

Talking

Talking all the time

Telling me the things to wear

And when to laugh and cry

An endless stream of choices

Yet none that I desire

A multi-layered infomercial

Hollow and facile

Offices and neon

Paper

Plastic

Glass

Faceless people

Words assault me

I hurry past

Crawl up in a fetal pose

Afraid to open eyes

A failure to communicate

Unable to describe

But don't feel any pity

Resposibility

As I prepare my exit

From the land of misery

 

In the land of misery

It's just another day

In the land of misery

It's just another day

In the land of misery

It's just another day

In the land of misery

It's just another day

So why do you stay?

 

In the land of misery

It's just another day

Hey

Hey

Hey

In the land of misery

It's just another day

Hey

Hey

Hey

In the land of misery

It's just another day

Hey

Hey

Hey

In the land of misery

It's just another day

So why do you stay?

 

 

In the land of misery

It's just another day

Hey

Hey

Hey

In the land of misery

It's just another day

Hey

Hey

Hey

In the land of misery

It's just another day

Hey

Hey

Hey

In the land of misery

It's just another day

So why do you stay?
