the defense

Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today
Mass paranoia is a mode not a melody
Yeah, Id like to watch a 1,000 cable channels but theres nothing on
And my high speed connections monitored daily by the
PentagonThese things are seldom what they seem
Im not inclined to enjoy my dreams
Wont go away
No peace(No peace)
And no friends(No friends)(We trace)
We trace the mortal edge(With no defense)
To state the obvious
This world is perilous for us
No sense(No sense)
And no guide(No guide)
Aint it beautiful to be alive(Yeah, right)
I wont resign before the struggle ends
So Ill construct this sound defense
We are the prey and culture is the predator
Im running out of time where conditions are positional
Shadows of a doubt cast reluctance and depravity
Theres gotta be a way to overcome this cruel reality
Is there an option left for me?
Im not immune to despondency
Theres no way
No peace(No peace)
And no friends(No friends)(We trace)
We trace the mortal edge(With no defense)
To state the obvious
This world is perilous for us
No sense(No sense)
And no guide(No guide)
Aint it beautiful to be alive(Yeah, right)
I wont resign before the struggle ends
So Ill construct this sound defense
Theres a signpost on the corner and it keeps everybody safe
We were all made in the shade and your mothers in the kitchen
Where shes patching all the cracks in the wall
We never had a care in the world(No shade)
Too much to sacrifice(And no light)
Its hard to recognize(Just black)
Traps to compromise(And white)
Obscuring deadly alibis(My plans)
Its combinational(Designs)
The pressures so intense
So Ill construct this sound defense(No way)
Nothings plainer than the madness in the world today(No sign)
I must conceal myself and steal myself and break away(No grace)
I seek initiative in matters that are black and white(No sense)
So Ill construct this sound defense
