Everybody's shaking
It's as if the earth is quaking
And they're moving like they've never moved before
They're acting all elated
Whereas actually they're jaded
With their eyes already looking at the door
Now they might swear
That they just don't care
But the truth is never really what it seems
You might not have predicted it
But really they're addicted to
The death of everybody else's dreams
And they don't know what they're talking about
Though they think it's understood
They'll take your heart and they'll tear it out
Then they smile like it's all good
But me
I say
Hello
Are you
Are you gonna hurt me too?
'Cause I
Don't know
If I can take any more
No I don't know
I don't know
Everybody's taking
And there ain't nobody baking
And it's looking like we're running out of pie
They're standing in the kitchen
And they're moaning and they're bitching
But there ain't nobody here who's wondering why
Now you might ask
Is it such a task
To lend a helping hand from time to time
Well pardon the depiction please
But charity's a fiction
Easy money's now a virtue not a crime
And they don't know what they're talking about
Though they think it's understood
They'll take your world and they'll tear it down
Then they smile like it's all good
But me
I say
Hello
Are you
Are you gonna hurt me too?
'Cause I
Don't know
If I can take any more
No I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't
