Well there are questions I want answered
and I want an answer now
Lies and propaganda are much
More than we can allow
One day I met a politician
some asshole who knows it all
Well I asked him why he was smiling
but what he said I can't recall

Crazy mixed-up neighbourhood
where it's still kill or be killed
They say it's like a jungle out there
where the blood is being spilled
And there are guys searching for hookers
they're on a night off from the wife
And in the shadows lurks some maniac
with his hand wrapped around a knife

It's never clean and it's never clear
But we try to read all the signs
Is it your reality or is it just these broken lines?

Well you can sometimes understand it
when someone goes on a killing spree
They take the crap at work from nine to five
and then they snap into insanity
And the boss who's a fucking asshole
she's the first to take a bullet in the head
And by the time he's done – and put his head to his gun
there's another seven lying dead

instrumental.

So we can dump our shit in the ocean
and we can pump a lot of shit in the air
It’s how the human race has worked it out
and we all gotta get our share
We are lords over all creation
we can suck this planet dry
And we can fuck around with the genome
so we don’t ever have to die

It's never clean and it's never clear
But we try to read all the signs
Is it your reality or is it just these broken lines?
