(intro) () Up in the sterilized room Where they let you be lazy Know-ing your attitudes are wrong And you gotta change, and it’s not easy Drag-ons shining with all values known Daz-zling you, keeping you from your own Where is the lion in you to de-fy him When you’re this weak and this spacey? So what are you gonna do about it You can’t live life and you can’t leave it Ad-vice and religion you can’t take it You can’t seem to believe it The pea-cock is afraid to pa-rade You’re un-der the thumb of a maid You real-ly can’t give love in this con-di-tion Still you know how you need it Then open and close you Then they talk like they know you They don’t know you They’re friends and they’re foes too, trouble child, Brea-king like the waves at Malibu () So why does it come as such a shock To know you really have no one? On-ly a river of changing fa-ces Looking for an ocean They tric-kle through your leaky plans Another dream over the dam And you’re ly-ing in some room Feeling like your right to be hu-man Is going over too But some are gonna knock you And some’ll try and clock you You know it’s really hard To talk sense to you, trouble child Breaking like the waves at Malibu ()
