If all the babies are broken
And the old folks are blind
There's a hole in my heart
But I know you don't mind
If I laugh at the cripples
And I welcome the madness
I can see the Black Knight
And there's fire in his nostrils
And he's looking at you, kid
So watch out for his hooves
They're going to kill you for sure
He's got some kind of sickness
And his breath it will burn you
He'll tear out your tongues
And you hope against hope
That it's a bad dream you had
About a meeting with Elvis
You're both shoveling plastic ware
And the men who control you
Keep yelling for more, more, more, more
But you don't know what for
'Cause nothing seems to get better
We're all living in danger
From a politician's curse
All promises have been broken
Well the mouth has spoken
The dream has been shattered
The flags have been burned
You better make up your minds
From whatever you've learned
And the way they've been scorned
Some babies have been battered
Way before they've been born
But the way that I look at things
They said Thank you for sharing
I said everything's shaking
And I can't seem to reach them
But I know they were there
I'm trapped in this vacuum
Some people rise above it
They caught a hold of my sleeve
But I slipped through the door
So I called up the doctor
He said Get out of this nightmare
So I forced myself to wake up
But the man in the mirror
Sentenced to be a witness
The anesthetic is wearing thin
And you're starting to sweat
They must have hit a nerve
I know it's not what you want
But it's what you deserve
Coming back to consciousness
I gotta tell you the truth
I have opened my heart to you
And I hope you don't mind
