Goodbye Stars, Hello Halogen

the paper arrives
they open their eyes
and they ascend
i crawl into bed
i'm hoping for sleep but instead
the world begins

this is the last time i believe
there's anyone looking out for me

so how do you choose?
between a circus or zoo?
the days of the free are numbered
by a corporate machine
the suburban régime
and 200 hundred channels of mindless t.v.

this is the last time i believe
there's anyone looking out for me
this is the last time i believe
there's anyone looking out for me

the stores on this street have all been shut down
and there's nothing to eat but there's bars all around
and the people of town are too drunk to care
so the strip malls they move in
and the corporate hold begins
so say goodbye to stars at night
and hello to halogen

this is the last time i believe
there's anyone looking out for me
this is the last time i believe
there's anyone looking out for me...
