lyrics

We're practiced in the art of deceit
Practicing so hard we're bas relief
When we wake up in the morning
we're assaulted by their warnings
We're practiced in the art of deceit
We're practiced and seduced
and mesmerized
Comatose induced disinfoed lines
When we reach through all our schooling
educated to their rulings
and the lines outside don't color outside
info lines

And to all of the kings and queens
we bow down on our knees
Do all of the simple things
confirming prophecies
and all of the simple folks
throughout all the land
sing hi dididdi
ain't life grand?

We're practiced in the irony that's dead
eating up rehearsed what's in our head
Can you say there's not enough?
ever live to get enough?
We're practiced in the irony that's dead
We're banging like we're convicts on parole
ever clanging all the things we can't control
We could use a little more stuff
but there never seems enough
We're practiced in the irony that's dead
We're banging all the things we can't control

And to all of the kings and queens
we bow down on our knees
Do all of the simple things
confirming prophecies
and all of the simple folks
throughout all the land
sing hi dididdi
ain't life grand?
