The Defense Lyrics

Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today
Mass paranoia is a mode not a malady
Yeah, I抎 like to watch 1,000 cable channels but there抯 nothing on
And my high speed connection抯 monitored daily by The Pentagon
These things are seldom what they seem
I抦 not inclined to enjoy my dreams
Won't go away
No Peace, and No Friends
We trace the mortal edge (with no defense)
To State the obvious, This world is perilous for us
No sense and No Guide, ain抰 it beautiful to be alive (yeah, right)
I won抰 resign before the struggle ends
So I抣l construct this sound defense
We are the prey and culture is the predator
I抦 running out of time where conditions are positional
Shadows of a doubt cast reluctance and depravity
There抯 got to be a way to overcome this cruel reality
Is there an option left for me, I抦 not immune to despondency
There抯 no way
No Peace, and No Friends
We trace the mortal edge (with no defense)
To State the obvious, This world is perilous for us
No sense and No Guide, ain抰 it beautiful to be alive (yeah, right)
I won抰 resign before the struggle ends
So I抣l construct this sound defense
There抯 a signpost on the corner and it keeps everybody safe
We were all made in the shade
And your mother抯 in the kitchen, where she's patching all the cracks in the wall
We never had a care in the world
(No shade) Too much to sacrifice, (No light) it's hard to recongnize
(Just black) traps to compromise (And white) obscuring deadly alabies
(My plans) It's combinational, (designs) the pressure's so intense
So I'll construct this sound defense
(No Way) Nothing抯 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 I'll construct this sound defense
