The Defense

Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today

Mass paranoia is a mode not a malady

Yeah, I'd like to watch a 1000 cable channels but there's nothing on

And the high speed connection's 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] No peace [and No friends] and No friends

[We trace] We Trace the mortal edge [with no defence]

To state the obvious

This world is perilous for us

No sense [No sense] and No guide [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 got to 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] No peace [and No friends] and No friends

[We trace] We Trace the mortal edge [with no defence]

To state the obvious

This world is perilous for us

No sense [No sense] and No guide [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

oh - ohhh



[No Shame] Too much to sacrifice [And no life] It's hard to recognize

[Just Black] Traps that compromise [And White] Obscuring deadly alibis

[My Plans] It's combinational [Decide] The pressure's so intense

So I'll construct this sound defense



[No Way] Nothing's plainer than the madness in the world today

[No Sign] I must conceal myself and steal myself and break away

[No Graves] I seek initiative in matters that are black and white

[No Sense]

So I'll construct this sound defense
