I ain't your passenger now
I ain't your passenger now, nor your equipment
An auditory trick
They're a boot that begs to be licked
I am the tarmac, I'm the pilot
I'm the flight path, can't get past that
Well, they'll go crazy
If you don't go crazy somehow
And I'm not crazy 'bout
What they're so crazy 'bout now
We've been eating our own
We've been eating our young
We've been eating our own young
Idle hands around the devil's throat
The suicide note that another's hand wrote
And we're used to this
And they'll go crazy
If you don't go crazy somehow
And I'm not crazy 'bout
What they're so crazy 'bout now
Picking dragons' pockets and away we go
Breathed in poison then you breathe out smoke
It's clear I'm lookin' for an anecdote
Well, you pay for garbage
And you've cast your vote
I found out just how low I'd go
Came up from the bottom lookin' like a ghost
I tried to go to Auckland but just did not go
Turns out when it rains, it snows
Brown leaves in the wind
Fresh clothes on dirty skins
The means to meet no ends again
Picking dragons' pockets and away we go
My eyes are their eyes, watch the show
Facts aren't facts on screens that glow
We're a pretty tricky little animal
Well, I'm not crazy 'bout
What they're so crazy 'bout now
And they'll go crazy
If you don't go crazy somehow
The looked-at side of a microscope
Voice to skull, try to crush your soul
But we're pretty tricky little animals
Killers get killed, that's just the way it goes
We're something that I know for sure
Is love makes love and hate makes more
We're pretty tricky little animals
Well, we're pretty tricky little animals
Something that I know for sure
Is love makes love but hate makes more
For sure, a pretty tricky little animal
We're a pretty tricky little animal
I ain't your passenger now
I ain't your passenger now
I'm just equipment
We've been eating our own
We've been eating our young
We've been eating our own young
