cut and paste, generic insights
regurgitate,
feast your eyes on these sick remains
these recycled displays,
wheres the spark to ignite your passion
wheres your own take
content to dig your own hole
with the same old spade
cut and paste, generic insights
regurgitate,
feast your eyes on these sick remains
these recycled displays
(from) where do you draw your inspiration
your urge to make an impression
lacking honesty wheres the meaning
cliches keep me from believing
appearance and deception
such a charade
a lack of confidence or
a simple mistake
acceptance and protection
hypocrisy
just a different flock of sheep
almost defies belief
appearance and deception
such a charade
a lack of confidence or
a simple mistake

Chatterbox:
once again with nothing of worth
points of view you've overheard
but to engage just seems too absurd
don't say much but your lips keep moving
its just like you've taken something
answering questions no ones even asking
carry on you chatterbox
let irrelevance run its course
i wish they had just stayed as thoughts
still i don't want to offend
but all your making is no sense
dug too deep to ever make amends
id rather think without speaking than speak without thinking
do you know what i mean
seem to be leaving no room for breathing
can i say something?
id rather think without speaking than speak without thinking
do you know what i mean
more than just attention seeking?
can i, should i say something
constant barrage of drivel
no primary source available
its just you playing the fool
tales seem to chop and change
depends what impression you wanna make
i'm looking for a means of escape
don't wanna look you in the face
mess with my phone just in case
drinks disappear at a rapid pace
now you've stopped, a short pause
are you waiting for my response?
i'm too lost in my own thoughts

Law and Order:
government sponsored barbarity, ethnic cleansing nationwide
rape as a weapon of war, a mounting loss of human life
some men stay to fight, the rest [join the women and children and] flee for their lives
i don't know about you but i call it genocide
refuse to commit [when there's] no political economic or strategic gain
besides easing the suffering of a population, a nation in pain
families, lives, torn apart, [how can you sit and] do nothing and claim to have a heart
help 'heal this scar on the conscience of the world'
[hiding behind false morals] Britain Inc. why does your blood run cold
total collapse of law and order
who will intervene to salvage a future?
wrong place wrong time, there's a price to pay
hoping and praying to live and die another day
watch your home burn, blood and smoke fill the air
leaving villages behind, a climate of despair
trekking to a refugee camp, burning hot days and freezing cold nights
clinging to the hope that everything will be alright
officials indecisions, bureaucratic registration
hour by hour day by day, foster frustration
no sanitation, a threat of infecting the water supply
like a row of dominoes, disease will be rife
'never again', again

Locations:
always been a shoulder to cry on
still never had anyone to rely on
a constant smile you seemed so optimistic
maintaining that's just unrealistic
impact of [your]self on situations
gradually eroding your high expectations
sit and watch your mistakes pile up
too blind to see you create your own bad luck
got friends do any know you though
connections all, all disposable
a means of defence correct to suppose
their concerns as real as the emperors new clothes
think a change of location would make everything better?
do you think a change of scene would help
think a change of location would make everything better?
you can change what you want but you need to change yourself
railways motorways planes to take you away
booze and drugs denial no real means of escape
think a change of location would make everything better?
do you think a change of scene would help
think a change of location would make everything better?
you can change what you want but you need to change yourself by yourself

Learning Curve:
start thinking about things i'm sure to fall apart
give it a year or two ill start picking up the pieces
trying to be nice where do you draw the line
just trying to be nice and see where it gets me
keep my fingers crossed that the aims not lost
naivety extracts such a heavy cost
give me a phone and ill see you soon
give me a phone and ill see you soon
no control no control
should have known better but still don't know
here comes another convenient test of character
learn from mistakes or remain within the realm of self disgust
keep thinking about things i'm sure to fall apart
who's gonna lend a hand in picking up more pieces
tired of being nice and falling into line
how many backs were turned without saying a word
keep my fingers crossed that the aims not lost
naivety extracts such a heavy cost
give me a phone and ill see you soon
give me a phone and ill see you soon
