EVERY TIME YOU ASK ME WHY, I NEVER FIND A WAY
EASE YOUR MIND AND COME ANOTHER DAY
EVERY MAN HERE IN THE DARK WILL SLOWLY FADE TO GREY
BUT IT CAN’T CHANGE IT, WHAT MORE CAN I SAY ?
I DON’T REALLY KNOW (NO), I DON’T REALLY KNOW (NO)
I DON’T REALLY KNOW (NO), I DON’T REALLY KNOW.
ALL MY LIFE I’VE TRIED SO HARD TO FACE IT AND PRETEND
I WAS WRONG ‘CAUSE LOVE IS NOT A GAME
GO YOUR WAY AND I’LL GO MINE UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN
I’M NOT THE ONE, YOU NEED SOMEBODY ELSE
I DON’T REALLY KNOW (NO), I DON’T REALLY KNOW (NO)
I DON’T REALLY KNOW (NO), I DON’T REALLY KNOW.
(SPEECH) NEVER TRUST A POOR BOY, THAT’S JUST WHAT I AM
IT LEADS YOU TO NOTHING, NOTHING REALLY SANE
I NEVER ASKED TO BE SOMEONE FOOLED AGAIN
TO LOVE, ROSES AND HAPPINESS, I DON’T WANNA PRETEND.

Knowledge is a burden, Ignorance will bring me peace
Knowledge is a burden and grey matter tastes so bitter
Knowledge is a burden, Ignorance will bring me peace
Knowledge is a burden, it shatters my fucking inner piece

Every morning I get horror, war, rape
Slaughter, gore, hate, it's more than I can take
I get a sore heart and a headache thinking of such poor fates
So I finish my coffee and just walk away

Close my eyes
Close my eyes, play it blind, face to problems I can't solve I don't mind
Me, myself, and I

I see it all happen, standing within the walls of freedom
I see that venom runs through the veins of this global kingdom
I see it all happen, Sugarman, won't you hit me with another blue pill
End my sorrow, I won't follow any rabbits, won't crawl
Down any fucking burrow
I won’t crawl down any burrow

I just want to live in this concrete paradise
Under a constellation of electric eyes, I was made to shine
I don't mind being spied; I have nothing to hide
I play the game by the rules and the game plays me for a fool
I play the game by the rules, the game plays me for a fool
I play the game by the rules, but the game plays me
