Blinded By Faith - An Ordinary Day (In North America) lyrics

Today I have some time to lose So I open the papers to read the news A bad buzz, a disturbing experience A real shock, I'm going nuts Tangled titles still linger in my head The harsh new reality, revisited (Pre Chorus:) The gloves are off. And truth hurts Step through the looking gla** Civilisation is on decline (Chorus) It's just an ordinary day in North America Where the world's a stage and the play is not a comedy It's just and ordinary day in North America Sit comfortably and enjoy the show Scandal figure resigns after being subpoenaed Political plunge in misbehaving Senators seek to improve their image Lady vengeance knocking at the doors of the Congress Police shoot a knife-wielding fugitive In front of shot pedestrians Stray bullet k**ed girl, no progress in the investigation Attack dog out of control bites baby in the park Paris Hilton ruins Nick Carter's life Journalist beaten by a drug crazed pop star Five years after the anthrax scare, no answer Homeland security awards $400M in anti-terror funds Experts gauge the quantity of materials for destroying planes Lawmakers agree to spend $1 billion on tightening border Today I have some time to lose So I open to papers to read the news But there's something I don't understand We revel in violence, plots, crimes and scandal Masturbating while reading the d**h notices: A post-modern form of catharsis? (pre chorus and chorus)
