Paroles de The Defense

Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today Mass paranoia is a mode not a melody Yeah, I'd like to watch thousand cable channels but there's nothing on And my high speed connection monitored daily by the Pentagon These things are seldom what they seem I'm not inclined to enjoy my dreams Won't go away! No peace and no friends We trace the mortal edge (with no defense) To state the obvious: This world is perilous for us! No sense and no guide! Ain't it beautiful to be alive? (yeah right) I won't resign before the struggle ends So I'll construct this sound defense! We are the prey and culture is the predator I'm running out of time where conditions are positional Shadows of a doubt cast reluctance and depravity There's gotta be a way to overcome this grim reality Is there an option left for me? I'm not immune to despondency There's no way! No peace and no friends We trace the mortal edge (with no defense) To state the obvious: This world is perilous for us! No sense and no guide! Ain't it beautiful to be alive? (yeah right) I won't resign before the struggle ends So I'll construct this sound defense! There's a signpost on the corner And it keeps everybody safe We were all made in the shade And your mother's in the kitchen Where she's patching all the cracks in the wall We never had a care in the world! (No shade) Too much to sacrifice (And no light) It's hard to recongnize (Just black) traps to compromise (and white) Obscuring deadly alabis (My plans) it's combinational, (designs) the pressure's soIntense So I'll construct this sound defense! (No way) nothing plainer than the madness in the world today (No sign) I must conceal myself and steal myself and break away (No grace) I seek initiative in matters that are black and white
