How Was It for Me? Lyrics

This beautiful notion that you can be pleased

This filling of the soul despite what it needs

Comes the desperate cry for freedom

In a land where nothing comes for free

You have the sweetest alibi, luv

Or is it the lie you tell yourself so you can get to sleep?

How was it for you? how was it for me?

The morning after our disease

Has taken hold of our senses and brought us to our knees

Three cheers for what's left of a twisted democracy

It was the end of you, my friend, how ends it for me

The insipid rants that run our mouths

Bitter words come out with ease

We face the finest of our challenges

But fail the basest of our needs

Try to meet them with a tasteless pill or fix them on TV

We are falling down like soldiers here

They are falling down like leaves

We are crawling through the ocean

We should be gliding through the trees

We are drowning in the desert sands

When we should be walking on the sea
