New October

Well, I read tomorrow’s news
Everybody had the blues
But I won’t wait up for all this sufferin'
There used to be a time
When living was no crime
But lately I have seen its slow decline
Now poverty is the new heresy
And it won’t take long for them
To bring us to our knees
Oh, majesty
Was made for you and me
But in time we’ll find that it’s not what we need
'Cause you don’t represent me all my time
Take it one step back for all mankind
And this meddling civilization we live in makes me ill
Well, I guess I’ll just sit back and take my pills
We live inside a place
Where the mirror shows no face
It shows only what you want people to know
'Cause in the end, what will it really mean?
You’ll never have enough friends to set you free
If you were me, would you want to believe?
Or would you rather see what’s on the old TV?
(Woo-woo-woo-ooh)
'Cause you don’t represent me all my time
Take it one step back for all mankind
And this meddling civilization we live in keeps us ill
Oh, what’ll we do when we run out of pills?
Oh, we can all sing he-ey
He-ey-ey
He-ey
No way
Oh, in time, and we’re sick,
And we want to believe but we just don’t
I was watchin' my TV
Yeah, I know it’s bad for me
But how else can I relate to my fellow man?
Your apologies are words upon a string
And they won’t hold me up if the world keeps fallin' down
(Woo-woo-woo-ooh)
'Cause you don’t represent me all my time
Take it one step back for all mankind
If we could fix the world that we live in today
Will it matter if we lose it anyway?
