lyrics

I, I come to you with a question,
Made to feel, made to fear with the best of it,
Well I, I need to watch you complain,
No I, I don't agree with the refrain,
'Cos what you say is common sense doesn't prove it to me,
'Cos what you say is recompense, it doesn't prove shit to me,
What you say is hunted down, you wouldn't wanna really believe,
Yeah what you say, you'll hunt me down, I couldn't really ever believe.

Until I see it,
It's never gonna happen,
Yeah until I see it,
It's never gonna happen.

When you come to me and you step inside,
You want something that's better alive,
When you come to me and you step inside,
You say "Am I better dead or alive?"
Can't quite believe,
You never asked me the way,
I can't quite see,
The difference it really makes.

Say we're all incompetent,
Say we're better off taking bets,
Say we're better off impotent,
Say we should all take our bets,
I really really wanna believe,
I wouldn't really wanna believe,
I wouldn't really wanna believe,
I wouldn't really wanna believe.

Is it better this way, to complain?
Living in a glasshouse where you can't really see,
"What do you really mean?" she said,
What can't I really see?
Living in your house of bricks,
Living in your house of cement,
And I don't know what it means,
Yeah I can't say what I've seen,
No I can't say what I've seen,
No I can't say what I've seen,
No I can't say what I've seen,
Yeah I can't say what I've seen.

It's what you do, when you've got a point to prove,
It's what you do, when you've got a point to prove,
Take me away,
Take me to that place,
Don't call me a disgrace,
It's all in your name.
