The walls are lined with lead
The birds are falling dead
You said the brains we had went to our heads
So now we drag our feet
And roam around the streets
Wander into town to gather what we need
But now i know
You don't even have to say so
You wake up in the morning with your head aching blind
Digging through your memories to see what you can find
But no consolidation, not a thing to ease your mind
And only torn clothing is all that's left behind
What are they trying to sell you now?
What are they trying to sell you now?
What more can they do to get your pockets emptied out?
Upside down and shake you out
I know
No need to say you told me so
I know you've got a hunger that only they can feed
Through your tunnel vision is all that you can see
The unsuspecting victims in a trance-like state
And words monosyllabic are all that you can say
What are they trying to sell you now?
What are they trying to sell you now?
What more can they do to get your pockets emptied out?
Upside down and shake you out
The walls are lined with lead
The birds are falling dead
You said the brains we had went to our heads
So now we drag our feet
And roam around the streets
Wander into town to gather what we need
What are they trying to sell you now?
What are they trying to sell you now?
What more can they do to get your pockets emptied out?
Upside down and shake you out
