There's a hole in the atmosphere
And the glaciers melting down
There's people running everywhere
And chaos in the town

There's the man living next to me
He's nowhere to be found
His wife's taken to gardening
And strange smells from the ground

There's the beauty that I work with
She's very sweet it seems
But she's telling me everynight she drinks a fifth
Then goes to the park naked and screams

Has the world gone totally crazy
Have we all lost our mind
Or could it be we need something cause we've grown lazy
And now we are all one of a kind

There's the principal
Who's never done wrong
Known his wife ever since she was a gal
They found him late last night in a gay bar dressed in a sarong

The press tells us all we need
They hound and stalk for a story
And do this not for knowledge but for their own greed
And when they make a mistake do we ever hear sorry

Now we all have chosen to live within our head
For all this craziness is rotting society's very core
Me ........ I shiver covered in my bed
Wondering if I ever locked my door

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
