Thea Gilmore - Everybody's Numb lyrics

I'm pleased to meet you boys, you know it's been a while Since I have had to fake delight just to raise a smile You're squeezing hands and squeezing hits as good as anyone And everybody's numb Yeah, everybody's numb And the sun's been slowly setting on your golden age And you'll recheck the figures but you'll skip the page Where the one thing that won't fit into your final sum Is everybody's numb Yeah, everybody's numb And all the noise you're making sounds just like the rest Salute the founders of the united states of emptiness You can roll your eyes and write me off as paranoid Tell me under Gucci suits lie twisted girls and tortured boys But nothing gets my back up quite like martyrdom When everybody's numb And all the noise you're making sounds just like the rest Salute the founders of the united states of emptiness So send your armies out into the real world Reciting lines from nursery rhymes, singing like a jailbird ‘Cause every Caesar needs a tranquiliser gun Then everybody's numb Yeah, every Ghandi needs his own Napoleon Then everybody's numb Yeah, everybody's numb Sure, everybody's numb Yeah, everybody's numb
