Endogenous Passive Aggressive Manipulation Of The Soul

No clear signal coming over the radio

Maybe I'll stick my head out the window
Catch a glimpse of something enthralling
Sing a little a cappella calypso



The French vegetarian ran over a squirrel

Can't get him to stop crying about it
Doesn't want to sing the Circle of Life
Between snivels he's labeling himself a hypocrite



How long are we going to stay atop this plateau

Will we ever live in the jungle again
Somewhere, anywhere, without a paved street
Will we ever live in the jungle again
Somewhere, anywhere, without a paved street



The wind and rain are peeling the paint off the facade

Carpets been eaten by rats
Door hangs forlornly from one last rusty hinge 
Tiles fall from the ceiling like so many drunken acrobats



Living in fear of your own ambitions

Building walls between you and your dreams
Have to learn to break through that past
Have to stop reacting only in extremes



How long are we going to stay atop this plateau

How long, how long, how long
Will you keep yourself locked up
