Brainwashed

(Rutgersson/Stenberg)

Nothing will happen if I just sit here
Nothing will change if I don’t move
You think it’s new but it’s just a replay of yesterday
Moving like syrup just numbers and names

Workout or sellout buy two and get the third one free
Coffee and cookies before you go
Or maybe you’d prefer some cinnamon tea
I’ll make it fresh just special for you

21 channels but nothing is on
Friday is payday but what shall I waste it all on

Oh, give me something to hold on to
Yeah, give me something that shines brand new

7-Eleven is open all through the night
Hot dog and soft drink for only 2.99
I sleep with headphones the radio’s on
Non-stop summer hits ‘til the break of dawn

Then in the morning we could go for a drive
Cruise down the highway as fast as we can
I’m free ‘til noon but I’m meeting a friend
Shall we do lunch or do town or maybe you wanna do me

Oh, give me something that’s never been seen
Yeah, give me something that’s open and wide

Hmm, all these neon lights and flash-signs and talk shows and fashion design

Where did life go — I feel, I feel:
Brainwashed, mind-tossed, jaded and forced
Live right, don’t fight, eat smart and shop right
Don’t turn of the light and never think twice

If I don’t sleep I know I won’t dream
If I don’t think maybe I won’t feel
Just catch a movie, get a beer, smoke a cigarette
Something to pass time ’til I don’t know when

It’s so quiet here it’s way too loud
Put on some music let’s do something wild
Oprah is on, I think I’ve seen it before
Overweight kids that just want more and more

Teenage mothers doped up on whatever is new
All you gotta do is just that, do, do and do

Oh, Give me something to hide behind
Yeah, show me something that’s gentle and kind

Hmm, all these neon lights and flash-signs and talk shows and fashion design
Where did life go…

We’re living in a big cloud of dust — I wonder what is real if you turn it all off —
Consume, consume so you don’t have to see — I wish, I don’t know it’s all a movie to me

Oh, give me something that’s not filtered and designed
Yeah, give me something that I know is only mine

Hmm, all these neon lights and flash-signs and talk shows and fashion design

Where did life go
