Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I want to be in the witness protection program
I don't like what we've become
We've become borderline obsessive
Compulsives stop the world
I want to get off with you, baby, stop
[Verse 2]
And it seems to me, it's the way it's gonna be
No one out there wants to see the things I've seen
It's a crazy world, a million voices go unheard
What became of wanting to be free?
Oh, what a world
[Verse 3]
We've lost power on the go
We reap what we have sown
We have no conscience to speak of
It's shear madness
Don't take the moral high ground
Hide behind your fake words
It's just an excuse for you weakness
[Verse 4]
One less opportunity, don't be upset with me
What about all the secrets here on earth?
We un-bottled the genie, living our fantasies
Theft of the propaganda, badly
Oh, what a world
[Verse 5]
And it seems to me, it's the way it's gonna be
No one out there wants to see the things I've seen
It's a crazy world, a million voices go unheard
What became of wanting to be free?
[Verse 6]
One less opportunity, don't be upset with me
What about all the secrets here on earth?
We un-bottled the genie, living our fantasies
Theft of the propaganda, badly
Oh, what a world
