lyrics

There's nowhere that I'd rather be
Than in this world of devotees
To something that they'll never be
And useless things we get for free
Where all we ever think we'll need
Surround us on some giant screens
Where everybody's different dreams
Are really all just thought to be the same

And after everything's been done
And every side's convinced they've one
And every doubt is cast upon
Decisions that were overdrawn
And nothing's ever justified
When it's just a few that get to thrive
And I'll never fuckin' understand
Why there's always nothing left to be said
