lyrics

Say hello
Then you’ll know
Some people will never hear you
Others will always fear you
Either way kid it’s just a game

The camera stopped
The crowd didn’t know what they should watch
The actors slumped like sleeping robots
They pulled the plug ‘cause we know not how to love with one muscle pumping blood

Oh they don’t know what becomes of this experimental drug
No they don’t know what to do with us

It’s a trap you’d set in anybody’s path
Until you find some smoke and mirror
To set the mood, make things clearer
All laid out on a table in the dark

The camera stopped
The crowd didn’t know what they should watch
The actors slumped like sleeping robots
They pulled the plug ‘cause we know not how to love with one muscle pumping blood

Oh they don’t know what becomes of this experimental drug
No they don’t know what to do with us
