Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got a friend who's blank
And he spends his days in a constant haze
Never leaves a trace
It's a crime that pays
He's a textbook case
[Chorus]
Pray for a miracle
A wrinkle in time
The wind is ephemeral
Always blows my mind
Hear the music box unwind
[Verse 2]
Begging to be born
Another unicorn in a uniform
It's a thing you hate
Another switch and bait that you abhor
[Chorus]
Made in America on a factory floor
There's a Disney character breaking down the door
And orchestra plays
A cartoon score for war
[Bridge]
No separation
No Berlin Wall
No celebration
No confusion
When it falls
[Chorus]
Made in America
On an assembly line
Where they make mass hysteria
Yeah, it's all streamlined
Nobody bats an eye
'Cause the trains still run on time
[Outro]
The trains still run on time (Yeah, they do)
The trains still run on time (Trains still run on time)
The trains still run on time (Yeah, they do)
The trains still run on time
