We didn't mean it, we're just responding to the age (the age that we're at, we can't know any better) We didn't see it, it blinded us from the side (we didn't see it, we didn't need to see it) Distilling tear gas all over the air That heavy rain is going to find in time To take its place in our lungs come aging We wanna teach 'em, we're trading crime for a crime (the age that we're at, we can't know any better) Opinions are my right though they might not be mine (my television is telling me my vision) This is our city You have no place in our community You're out of sight
And mind and hand and understanding In the end, the needle goes back to the start And bends the chaos to chorus And now we pretend that the whole thing is falling apart again We'll be defeated we'll be absolved in the end We need feeding we'll be as babies again (I don't believe it, I don't wanna believe it) So take the present and concertina it successfully To fool yourself Go place your waste in empty spaces In the end, the needle goes back to the start And bends the chaos to chorus And now we pretend that the whole thing is falling apart again
