about

Mental illness is just for individuals or for whole societies as well?

lyrics

Cashed out credit card,
Homeless down by 5%,
And "half of us make it,
While the other half waste it"
You're just a leaky T.V set.

"You mean so much to me,
That I'm gonna give you our full-year warranty,
Because here at Specials,
We think you're so special,
This week only guarantee"

And dirty dishes and a broken man,
His blue stained soul and wrinkled hand,
And poor dad wishes,
He had those riches,
But he lacked the requesite mentality.

You're quite mad, did you know that?
But I'm just glad I've got one friend who's where I'm at,
Another strange one,
Another deranged one,
Among all you good people out there making it happen,

And I don't know if love is real,
Maybe it's just for those who know how to feel,
Who are well connnected,
Well respected,
Calm, collected and good in teams.

I stare at you like my T.V screen,
You speak to me like you're rehearsing some speech,
And everyone's sleeping,
But friend we're just dreaming,
Maybe we just lack productivity.
