Lyrics

Instead of protection
Here's a cop raid
Instead of enlightenment
Here's a fanatic tirade
Instead of culture
Here's a shopping mall
Instead of comraderie
Here's a high school hall

So many words that promise satisfaction
So why are you disappointed?

Instead of freedom
Here's the system
Instead of the meaning of life
Here's religion
Instead of loving arms
Here's a deadbeat dad
Instead of everything
Here's all you've never had

So many words that promise satisfaction
So why am I disappointed?
This perfect world they tell us to aspire to
Is just a big lie

Instead of fulfillment
Here's a dirty high
Instead of a future
Here you're getting by
Instead of a soul mate
Here's a fat whore
Because maybe you just don't know
Who you are anymore...

So many words that promise satisfaction
So why are we disappointed?
And if you take offense to how I act jaded,
Well,
Just deal with it...
