Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Getting to my wealth
Is getting to my health
I couldn't be myself for long
Getting to my wealth
Everything that's right
Everything that's right is wrong
[Verse 2]
As an animal
Programmed or it's not programmed
There's a gun in the small of my back
An itch that you can't scratch
That takes me all
Takes me all over the world
[Chorus]
Gets me thrown around
Gets me thrown around
Gets thrown around
[Verse 3]
I live for a callback
History loves to rhyme
So I look to the past
For everything lasting
[Chorus]
Gets me thrown around
Gets me thrown around
Gets thrown around
Gets thrown around
[Verse 4]
It's an itch that Nietsche can't reach
The vicar can't preach
The guru can't teach
It's all at my feet
The need to be seen
Is turning us green
I find and they keep
They're living my dream
I live on my screen
They're skimming my cream
But they take me all over the world
[Chorus]
Thrown around
Gets thrown around
[Chorus]
Gets me thrown around
Gets me thrown around
[Verse 5]
I'm familiar like the cold
Like a bursting pipe
Like a bar fight
I'm familiar like a late train
Like the sentiment
Of a film I've seen again and again
And again and again in my mind
[Outro]
In my mind
