It's all foma, and newspeak Dying to live, and screaming silently What's the game, they're all playing? No damn cat, no damn cradle No more words to learn, it's for the best These pages speak so loud but they're still drowned right out By screens that scream and shout, blocking your questions out It's so hard to be afraid It's so hard to be afraid When you never stopped to think These boxes scream and shout Chew up the words And spit them out
