You are living in such desperate days
With crazy people acting out their crazy ways
They want you to believe the way they believe
When you remove your body from your soul
When you rip out your heart it takes a toll
And in the end what does that leave
What does that leave
Finding, feeling, fucking and forgetting
It's the worst that it's been since the Great Depression
People out of work, work in recession
Just want to jump out of that thin skin you're in
Take to the streets with your symbols and your signs
Make new plans with your own designs
Come back you freakin' hippies, where have you been
What do you do when you don't know what else to do
What do you do
Feeling both uptight and unwound
What do you do when you don't know what else to do
What can you do
Do you burn your house down to the ground
Well no one's gonna give you any kind of good reason
And those who do will be accused of high treason
While the rest of the world just sits on its idle hands
So you just fall back on your primal urges
Move through the world in fits and surges
And wind up on the fundament of the shadowlands
