Hey you!
I’m in the self-centred century, got a problem with the attitude
Where are you?
Take a good look in a mirror, find the centre of the universe
Who are you?
A knight of anonymity, litigiously disintegrating
All that we care about
Uncomfortable opinions, protector of illumination
You run around and spread your disease
I fret for your fallacies
Is that the world as you see it?
You always leave a trail of unease
We all give a share of our piece
Everyone but…
You will hang me out to dry and set the world on fire Make me watch it for a while
Cus you don’t know how it feels
You’ve got to lose control
And let your ego go
I’ll take you for a ride
Cus It’s time you realize
Hey you!
Did you put one and one together?
Such extraordinary aptitude
Where are you?
You hide behind a screen, taking tolls on the innocent Who are you?
Put my mind inside a template, I ain’t mud for you to play with cus
That’s what you try to do
Why won’t you rid us from the riddle, bring us all into enlightenment
I‘ve tried to set a trap to release
But with a fat outer layer of grease
You just slip right through it
No one wants to hear a big speech ~So please give me quiet and peace
But.. I.. know.. that
You will hang me out to dry and set the world on fire Make me watch it for a while
Cus you don’t know how it feels
You’ve got to lose control
And let your ego go
I’ll take you for a ride
Cus It’s time you realize
I crave for constant stimulation and there ain’t no way to come around I need an instant circulation
I need my dose of information neverending days are coming I’m about to lose my concentration
You will hang me out to dry and set the world on fire Make me watch it for a while
Cus you don’t know how it feels
You’ve got to lose control
And let your ego go
I’ll take you for a ride
Cus It’s time you realize
