Dirty Little Secret

Feeling kinda friendless,
 My better off dead list is longer everyday
 What'll it come to when we've finally had enough?
 Down where the hate thrives
 Listen to the right lie on the radio
 Do they really think they're fooling anyone of us?
 Looking for some sweetness
 My dirty little secret rears it's tragic head:
 I still want every love who'se ever touched my skin
 Pitiful and frantic
 A cynical romantic – Oh the things we said
 They'd all be laughing at the silly shape I'm in
 Sky's not Falling and the earth's still turning
 Yeah, the sun's still burning in the sky where it
 Should be
 Though I'm not past caring, I have lost some bearing
 And the world seems harsher than it needs to be.
 Thinking's out fashion
 "Patriots" with passion crow from every wire
 Now "Us or Them" sounds more and more like
 "Yours or Mine"
 Under some hypnosis
 A national psychosis breaks across the land
 You know I loved this country, once upon a time
 Sky's not Falling and the earth's still turning
 Yeah, the sun's still burning in the sky where it
 Should be
 Though I'm not past caring, I have lost some bearing
 And the world seems harsher than it needs to be.
