And I am frightened by this curr of dead-beats in the land
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land.
And I am frightened to drive the car until I saw this lamb.
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land.

I'm like Estella.
I am frightened by the color of dead lice on this man
I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
I don't do secretarial today.
I don't wanna dissect everything today
I'm frustrated by your applique.
I'm frustrated by your apathy.

And all I really want

Slap me with a splintered ruler.
The corn flakes, the craziness, and the sound of pretenses falling all around.
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses falling all around.
Why are you so petrified of science?
Why are you so petrified of silence?
