Addicted to Reality

SWEET REALITY FULL OF DESIRE / DOWN MISTY STREETS IN A FORGOTTEN THIRD WORLD COUNTRY I WALK WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS ON MY SCREEN / PICTURES FEED ME CARS AND RICH PLACES / NICE AND LONELY CHICKS BUT WHAT I REALLY SEE/ IS A DIRTY MISERY RAGGED PEOPLE LIVE AND DIE / A TRASHY FANTASY I WANDER ROUND AND ROUND SEEKING MY OWN PROMISED DREAM THEN I FOUND ITS TRACE ON MY DECEIVING TV I TURN IT ON AGAIN STILL TRIES TO SEDUCE ME NOW I SEE BEYOND ITS LYING SCREEN CHORUS OH SWEET REALITY YOU BREAK MY HEART YOU DON'T NEED TO LIE TO ME NO MORE OH BITTER REALITY YOU DESTROY MY MIND YOU CANNOT ENSLAVE MY THOUGHTS NO MORE MY MIND IS ON FIRE / FOR ALL I SEE OUR LIVES BECAME A BIG SHOW WHEN YOU'RE BORN YOU GET YOUR SCRIPT HARD WORKING MEN / FIGHTING FOR THEIR FOOD EARNING MEAGER WAGES/ FOLLOWING STRANGE RULES BUT WHAT THEY REALLY HAVE / IS A POOR SHACK TO LIVE IN FILTHY RAGS TO WEAR / AND RANCID SCRAPS TO EAT I WANDER ROUND AND ROUND SEEKING MY LOST PROMISED DREAM THEN I FOUND ITS TRACE ON MY DECEIVING TV I TURN IT ON AGAIN DIFFERENT WORLDS IN FRONT OF ME NOW I SEE BEYOND ITS LYING SCREEN CHORUS
