I can't fall asleep without someone else's thoughts

I can't stay asleep with my own

I can't stopping checking on a world I'll never know

I can't feel my brain through my phone

I didn't ever ask to be an outlaw

But I just can't see any other way

'Cause, darling, once you've seen what I saw

You can't stay at home or run away

So I know what I've gotta do

But I can't bring myself to

This life is killing me and you

I've got the deprogramming blues

I can see my problem clearly

But I can't escape

Haven't slept in far too long

But I sure ain't awake

Could be the Unabomber

Mail bombs to Bill Gates

But I'd rather be Ted

In a world I create

I didn't ever ask to be an outlaw

But I just can't see any other way

'Cause, darling, once you've seen what I saw

You can't stay at home or run away

So I know what I've gotta do

But I can't bring myself to

This life is killing me and you

I've got the deprogramming blues

This life is killing me and you

This life is killing me and you

This life is killing me and you

I've got the deprogramming blues
