there’s wine in the water, and the lines are drawing thin
everyone keeps talking backwards, and they’re all running from something
don’t blame it on yourself, everyone is to blame
we all run around in circles until we find our real names
well, I see a man in the mirror, and I wonder “am I stoned?”
then I see a man on the pavement, and he’s telling me I shouldn’t go
the train tracks of this town, run right through the heart of it
people walking in perfect timing to the city beat
and my mind is like the metrolink, I just don’t know where it goes
I keep hearing voices telling me, “hey man, just go with the flow”
well, I see a man in the mirror, and I wonder “am I stoned?”
then I see a man on my tv screen and he’s offering me an interest free loan
I am trapped in a cycle, not the voice of this generation
alcoholic dependancies mixed with wishful aspirations
well, I see a man in the mirror, and I wonder “am I stoned?”
then I see a man on the pavement, and he’s telling me I shouldn’t go

democracy, it ain’t what it used to be
you fucked it all away when you wanted a sense of community
but well, well it ain’t like that man
have you been living with your head stuck under the sand?
and refugees, they choose between bombs or the sea
just another case of airstrike residency
well, well it ain’t like that man
we promise you it’s all part of our economic plan
I see you walking down the street
you put your hands in the mouth of greed
kept trying to make us out like thieves
is this what it feels like to be fucking free?
just a modern day slavery
modern day slave
modern day slave
modern day slavery
