Lyrics for Not So Dense

Have you ever felt too far gone to be a sinner But you know yourself too well to ever be a saint? Well it's okay 'cause the kids are making models of God out of paper mache Why did you ever vow to take the decadent path? 'Cause you smile like a devil and shut up like a trap Well it's okay 'cause you fixed your scruff so now you can be properly scragged Despair and disease spread on dollar bills Convenience, well it strips you bare of consciousness Have you ever felt a moment of aphasia? Have you ever met your match at the apex? You ever fall down so hard that everything shakes Have you ever been in the corner of the room And it feels like the farthest corner of the world? Did you find it hard just to be so sure? Well there ain't no arrows on the moon And there ain't no wishes on the stars And there ain't no hero in your world We got no reason to feel sure Farmed in a factory gets devoured And the manmade machinery gets empowered And if you don't your milk young man You know it will turn sour And I watch sixty minutes go by hour after hour after hour!
