I'm surrounded by complete morons
Having a field day, making a big ruckus
Gossip travelling nonstop from one mouth to another
It's a world where all that prosper must decline
Going along with whatever bullshit nonsense uttered
Following others loyally like the perfect sycophant
Everybody's carelessly hurling the same verbal insults
In every direction
Making a mockery of other people's misfortune
Is the only thing they live for
How stupid is that?
It makes me sick, I can't stand to put up with this crap anymore
It's a world where you win for taking the risk, you win for speaking up, revelling in all the hoo-ha
While the busybody onlookers erupt with boos and jeers
I'll just seal my lips, cover my ears, shut my eyes
And pretend that I know nothing... how I wish!
We're caught between the gears
That operate this community like clockwork
The solution that somebody came up with isn't helpful in the least
We just allow ourselves to be whittled away until we all get crushed
It's accepted as the norm
To envy and deride other people's happiness
How stupid is that?
It makes me sick, I can't stand to put up with this crap anymore
It's a world where you win for taking the risk, you win for speaking up, revelling in all the hoo-ha
While the shrews fall right into the trap
I'll just brace myself, hold my breath, shut my eyes
And make myself disappear from here now... how I wish!
With the key that you hold
I want you to dispel my romantic ideals
Strip off my disguise
And expose me for the despicable creature I am inside
I want you to love me for who I really am
But society is merciless, ever in a wretchedness, flames burning relentless
Everybody dancing with masks over their faces
It's a world where you win for taking the risk, you win for speaking up, revelling in all the hoo-ha
While the busybody onlookers erupt with boos and jeers
I'll just seal my lips, cover my ears, shut my eyes
And pretend that I know nothing... how I wish!
