Vicious Teeth - Crime In Stereo

Complicate all the things you say

What tiny lives each of our lies must lead

As we disapprove of us entirely

Disguise away the ways in which we’re incomplete

And cover them in encouraging insincerities

And use our routines to increase the revenue

And get the kids ready for school

Rise with the sun and leave our secrets sleeping in

And this is how we live

This is how we live!

Orchestrate all the things you say

So all the neighbors see you scream out publicly

Teach the local kids that the arithmetic

Of attention and affection goes like this:

«We'll take what we can get.»

I can’t take it

Awaken the needful things that we’ve created

We’re separated

Awaiting the evil things our tiny cages no longer can contain

The vicious teeth of our mistakes

(The fuel that leaks from our machine)

Shopping and therapy

(Floods the local scene in)

And modern economics and reckless chemistry

All so we can sleep

This is how we dream!
