MIKE:
Whoah
The truth is a tramp
Vomiting on the street corner
Whoah
The suffering of innocence
Is how the rich get their riches
CRAIG
It's such a thrill just go outside
These people want me to listen
The state that's feeding me is bring me down
They pull my arm so I'll listen
MIKE
Listen to what they have to say
Cause it's not like they're not behind it all Anyway
We're talking about an arm and a leg
Just like animals we are trained
CRAIG
You never told me that it hurt so good
To be locked up in a prison
Don't you call me Un-American
Cause they won't give a choice
MIKE
It's in our water and every book and newspaper
Taught in every school and spread in every lecture
Find a pill find a medicine
Cause you're real
Because you're dying inside
Cause you need to find a cure before the end
And it's coming sooner than you think
My friend

Things were just how they were when we began
CRAIG
And I don't know
What made you think I..
I'm lying

MIKE
And mothers
Never tell their fucking lies
But you know I've never been her favorite child
And everybody thinks they know what is good for us all
CRAIG
Just tryin to get back there
MIKE
And you are just tryin to get back up against the wall
CRAIG
Just tryin to know
Who am I?
If I can't say
What's on my
What's on my mind
MIKE
My mind is turned against me for the worst
Can't control my thoughts
Yeah I swear I am cursed
CRAIG
Why won't you listen to me girl?
MIKE
She's listening but she just don't give a fuck
She's out of her luck and I..

CRAIG:
Motions
Are so brutal
She's moving around on me baby
She's moving
That's alright
Hey girl where you goin with that
Suitcase and that money
She said I'm goin to Nevada to find my way
She'll probably catch a movie
And won't see the whole picture
Cause she never saw anything
When I was with her
At least she never got the picture
Why don't you just
Step back in the door
Cause I'm a loser with no
Self respect baby
And I need you
I need you
There you go again with that moving...

CRAIG:
Fighting for a place
To fucking die out
I just want I want
I want to shout it out
I don't think that we
Can survive it
Especially not when you demonize it, yeah
MIKE:
Don't think that we
That we know
What's happening
To busy watching screens
While our future's getting fucked financially
Never liked money
Never played the game
Let it destroy itself
It's all the same
To me Cause I'm not based on greed
This democracy's brought a demon on me
CRAIG:
They're taking all our food and our money
Don't you remember when days were sunny
I'm a man
With methods and madness
They'll find a way just to take it back, yeah
MIKE:
Free to be
Free to be dumb
Not even birds are free from our pollution
Who's to say
What's black and white
Or right from wrong
Perception's a bitch
Know where I'm coming from?
It's different from you
It's different from me
It's different from our version of what is free
Hypocrisy
Then I'll fly away from this place
It'll just be you and me

MIKE

MIKE
Cause it's comin and it don't discriminate
CRAIG
I can't feel my face
MIKE
No bother lookin backwards cause it's all around
CRAIG

MIKE
Look to the sky when we're here on the ground
CRAIG
I've got to tell you I am lying to you
MIKE
Been lying for long now baby
CRAIG
You're searching for a reason
But I'm a deceiver
Get out get out get out
MIKE
Been tryin to find a way to get out
But i'm lost in these corridors now
MIKE
Mothers hold your children close
CRAIG
Why don't you take a look in the moor
MIKE

Cause you're lyin to me too
