Ever hurt someone else Just, just, just, just To make yourself feel better?
Ever done something stupid 'Cause it seemed like more fun?
Ever ignored something you knew was true?
The once great Now grovel and beg And the brightest stars Now cry from their cage Stories and breakthroughs Now rain down as ash And the fools, one after another Proclaim themselves king Loving pariahs caught on sinking ship And through the night, we'll learn to swim Oh, modern living, work hard to sustain A way of life that will end it all in flames Everyone pitches in, everyone feels sick Oh, o-oh, oho
