Smut peddling cannibals hang at public urinals Mister wanna buy a watch? Leafy catnip tar some rock Skid marked asphalt or a pair of dirty socks! Everything is up for sale But never any bargains On vacation out to lunch Nervous smokers got the jitters Coffee stains and shell shocked vets Child molesting paranoid pimps Crooked cops and the dog keeps chasing itself This cycle never stops Cycle never stops Cycle never stops. . Helplessness Street signs read anywhere anytime Can you stop the bus This is where I wanna get off Confronted by trendy chic hipsters Treading like hamsters And tires keep turning Rubber's burning Attached to motors No one's learning Well me hell I'm always looking for An exit sign So I can get out The easy way out So I can find some peace of brain or a comfortable ride A cool place to hide
Or a get rich quick scheme A scapegoat or an excuse without any loopholes So I won't trip or hang myself Something ugly settles As if I'm heavy or short on breath A feeling of helplessness A feeling of helplessness A feeling of helplessness When I keep hearing their jibberish Vote no on yes Don't panic this is only a test Don't panic this is only a test Don't panic this is only a test Don't panic this is only a test All those unfortunates caught in bad circumstances Lesbian skinheads who think they're in love Computer programmers owning nervous disorders And a few s**ual fantasies Only running on half filled tanks Half filled tanks Half filled tanks Half filled tanks Who will stand on the deck On the deck? Of a sinking ship. .. Helplessness Helplessness Helplessness Helplessness
