I can't stand it any longer
I really cannot
People preaching about joy and love
Is making me sick
Not all endings are happy
I look the other day
A hellish red lantern, to guide my little way
The world was lookin' up
While I was lookin' down
After all
This world needs someone
to hold it to the ground
In this bright, bright world
We all need shadows
A dark side to balance out
the lightened little hell
Optimistic feelings
are all very well
But even a simple idea has a
dark side and a frown
At this simple stage
who knows what we'll do
But even a simple child knows how to sue
Money
it's all we think about
A simple world mentality
To show us how to bow
In the bright, bright lights
a simple world waits
Waiting for their payoff
Lord, isn't that shallow?
Now here I am, lecturing you all
Telling you simply how to settle the score
Not all of us are dreamers enough
to bite the hook
With all this weird brightness
I thought I'd be a dark hell
Now that the world has put you under its spell...
...It's spell... it's spell...
