[00:58.38]From your television screen
[01:00.45]And complicated visions
[01:02.10]Of a future in the dark
[01:03.69]But the man inside the gloves
[01:05.01]He gives you what you want
[01:07.02]And complimentary gifts

[01:51.78]That his lady won't stay
[01:53.43]So he buys her a car
[01:54.78]And then she drives away
[01:56.79]I said let that be a lesson you learn
[02:00.57]You know you can't
[02:01.26]Buy love for less than fifty a turn
[02:04.14]Well the officer falls a
[02:06.09]Nd the thief gets change

[02:08.34]That you own becomes a rusty cage
[02:11.04]Oh I've got a right to be nervous
[02:15.39]It tears a hole in my side
[02:18.60]And I've got knowledge
[02:19.92]But it's worthless
[02:21.99]So I just choose to get high
[02:25.47]See the girl who puts
[02:26.94]Faith in her marble stones
[02:29.31]Is the puppet who's hanging
[02:30.60]On umbilical chords
[02:32.85]And the deceiver who waits
[02:34.71]On the cobbled road
[02:36.45]Is the lover who changes
[02:37.83]For each one she owns
[02:39.72]I said come unto me
[02:41.64]From wherever you dwell
[02:43.44]From the kings of the courtrooms
[02:45.33]To the poets in hell
[02:47.13]See I don't wanna hear
[02:48.42]No peace love and lies
[02:50.64]'Cause it doesn't exist

[02:58.44]It tears a hole in my side
[03:01.62]And I've got knowledge
[03:02.97]But it's worthless
[03:05.04]So I just choose to get high
[03:15.72]Well the diplomat waits
[03:17.61]For his chance to cry
[03:19.59]And the guard on his gates
[03:20.85]He wants his chance to die
[03:23.16]I said a hero to him is a hero to all
[03:26.79]But a hero to me
[03:27.96]Is six feet under the soil
[03:30.00]See I could see a change
[03:32.13]But it wouldn't come
[03:34.05]And it wasn't in a suit
[03:35.13]Or a priest or even a nun
[03:37.65]And it wasn't in a ghost
[03:39.48]And it wasn't in a book
[03:41.25]I said the answer
[03:41.97]We seek's inside me and you
