Away, away I can't get away
From all of the poison, from all of the pain
Away, away I can't get away
From ma**es we shadows, from ma**es we can't escape
The world is never quiet
Even silence makes a sound
A pin-prick, a blank strike
What was proud is still as proud
Watch it unfold on LCD screen sets,
so we really, never, ever have to deal with it
Each pixel is a story of what there was before
Each cathode ray disguises just what we're looking for
Away, away I can't get away
From all of the poison, from all of the pain
Away, away I can't get away
From ma**es we shadow, from ma**es we can't escape
From the great north to a working man's hand
There's a story in the desert
Below the cobblestones the sand
Our indulgence is just one step away
Lust has no end when there's no end and no one awake to say
Are we afraid of you?
Are we the same as you?
Each pixel is a story of what there was before
Each wire tapped for water, to h*mogenize the poor
Each commercial will remind us that things couldn't get much worse
Away, away I can't get away
From all of the poison, from all of the pain
Away, away I can't get away
From ma**es we shadow, from ma**es we can't escape
Are we afraid of you?
Are we the same as you?
Away, away I can't get away
From all of the poison, from all of the pain
Away, away I can't get away
From ma**es we shadows, from ma**es we can't escape
Away, away I can't get away
From all of the poison, from all of the pain
Away, away I can't get away
From ma**es we shadows, from ma**es we can't escape
Away, away
From all of the poison, from all of the pain
Away, away I can't get away
From ma**es we shadows, from ma**es we can't escape
