An Ordinary Day (In North America) - Blinded By Faith

Today I have some time to lose

So I open the papers to read the news

A bad buzz, a disturbing experience

A real shock, I’m going nuts

Tangled titles still linger in my head

The harsh new reality, revisited

(Pre Chorus:)

The gloves are off.

And truth hurts

Step through the looking glass

Civilisation is on decline

It’s just an ordinary day in North America

Where the world’s a stage and the play is not a comedy

It’s just and ordinary day in North America

Sit comfortably and enjoy the show

Scandal figure resigns after being subpoenaed

Political plunge in misbehaving

Senators seek to improve their image

Lady vengeance knocking at the doors of the Congress

Police shoot a knife-wielding fugitive

In front of shot pedestrians

Stray bullet killed girl, no progress in the investigation

Attack dog out of control bites baby in the park

Paris Hilton ruins Nick Carter’s life

Journalist beaten by a drug crazed pop star

Five years after the anthrax scare, no answer

Homeland security awards $ 400M in anti-terror funds

Experts gauge the quantity of materials for destroying planes

Lawmakers agree to spend $ 1 billion on tightening border

Today I have some time to lose

So I open to papers to read the news

But there’s something I don’t understand

We revel in violence, plots, crimes and scandal

Masturbating while reading the death notices:

A post-modern form of catharsis?

(pre chorus and chorus)
