Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All my books lay on the table
Waiting to unfold
I sit and stare at my reflection
While the darkness chills my bones
[Verse 2]
My head feels like a junk shop
In desperate need of repair
The path or least resistance
Leads to the garbage heap of despair
I think I'd better get back in bed
[Verse 3]
I'm just a symptom of the moral decay
That's gnawing at the heart of the country
It's just a symptom of the moral decay
That's gnawing at the heart of the country
[Verse 4]
You can't destroy your problems
By destroying yourself
Death is not the answer
For your soul may burn in hell
[Verse 5]
My memory my find deceiver
Is turning all my past into pain
While I'm being raped by progress
Tomorrow's world is here to stay
They wouldn't have it any other way
[Verse 6]
I'm just a symptom of the moral decay
That's gnawing at the heart of the country
I'm just a symptom of the moral decay
That's gnawing at the heart of the country
[Verse 7]
I'm just a symptom of the moral decay
That's gnawing at the heart of the country
I'm just a symptom of the moral decay
That's gnawing at the heart of the country
[Verse 8]
