Of A Dream And A Hallucination
And there are typhoons and tsunamis
And all the food is poison to our bodies
And I can’t control it

And there are bombs and missing Moms
And Gay kids get beat up at proms
And there’s nothing I can do about it

And it pisses me off
How the kids all scoff
As they drink from the trough
of their gluttony
and our weaknesses

And I wish so bad that someone would do something about it

And you have been enslaved by this machine
And you pop your pills and drink your caffeine
And don’t even realize what they’ve done to you
And there’s nothing to be done about it

And I think it’s such a shame
We’re not sufficient in this game
If left to our own devices
Most of us would not continue to persist in this life
And I think it’s such a shame

And love is just a chemical
And I am a robot
And all these romantic notions of life are a joke
And on this wheel I’m just a spoke
And it’s gonna fall off someday
And there's not a goddamn thing I can do about it

And none of this will matter in the end
Because all of this has been
A long
Painful
Lie
And a joke
Of a dream
And a hallucination
Even the good times didn’t mean nothing

No one’s going to remember this
No one will be here
When it’s all said and done
We simply
disappear
