Numb
"Get it out of your head," they said"Don't you wanna forget?""We know you wanna be numb, come on…Shut it off just like everyone has done"
They'll tell you just what you need to knowThey'll erase what you don'tThey're looking out for your every stepIs the intent to control or protect?Smile, it's okayThey can make the (whole) big, bad world go away…Shut it off shut it off shut it off
(CH)Don't see, don't hearDon't know, don't fearNow don't you feel better now, my dear?Shouldn't our hunger for truth be calmed?We've been without it so longSo many seem not to mind it nowThe image of integrity whittled downDon't we (all) deserveTo live in a dream, feeling safe and undisturbed…Shut it off, shut it off, shut it off…
Don't see, don't hearDon't know, don't fearNow don't you feel better now, my dear?
Get it out of your head, get it out of your headJust close your eyes and be led, the age of reason is dead…Get it out of your head, get it out of your headSwallow what you've been fed, the age of reason is deadThe age of reason is dead, reason is dead, reason is dead…
