Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands

Lyrics

Everybody cares, everybody understands
 Yes, everybody cares about you
 Yeah, and whether or not you want them to
 It's a chemical embrace that kicks you in the head
 To a pure synthetic sympathy that infuriates you totally
 And a quiet lie that makes you want to scream and shout
 So here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
 Raining its guiding light upon everyone
 For a moment's rest you can lean against the banister
 After running upstairs again and again
 From wherever they came to fix you in, but
 Always fair city's finest follow right behind
 You've got a pretty vision in your head
 A pencil full of poison lead
 And a sickened smile illegal in every town
 So here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
 Raining its guiding light upon everyone
 Here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
 Raining its guiding light upon everyone
 You say you mean well
 You don't know what you mean
 Fucking oughta stay the hell away
 From things you know nothing about
