What am I doing here, in this place?
People shopping 'round, for their face.
I've got my nose pressed up against a window pane.
People shopping to hide their shame.
It's insane.
The world is sliding down the drain.
You've got me again, oh you can tell.
I'm holed up in this barcode prison cell.
You've got me again, oh it's easy to see.
Will we ever wake up, ever cease to dream?
It's insane.
The world is sliding down the drain.
Looking through the glass,
And I'm wondering if it'll ever crack.
Will the ice break?
When I walk across that frozen lake.
It's insane.
The world is sliding down the drain,
Down the bend, far past the end of what's seen on television.
Reality is slipping from me, baby, why do we keep running?
Tell me.
It's insane.
The world is sliding down the drain.
