 lines it is { }. Enjoy.

 Well theres been something thats been bugging me for some time

 It is a trouble from which I can never hide

 Its all them greedy men in tailored suits who dominate the world

 And build the laboratory mazes for mankind

 This house of cards will surely topple over someday

 Just as Im sure all of the fat cats are aware

 So keep society sedated let them atrophy their minds

 And in the end there will be no one left to care

 So go on home, walk swiftly through the bright-lit patches

 The night closes faster than your eyes can catch it

 The lies will be revealed in the end like a magic show

 Ill say I told you so

 Well I dont know, but Ive been told

 Youre born to die and not to grow old

 And maybe later I will start a revolution

 You know Ill give them everything that I have got

 And then I know you all will thank me but Im not sure I have the time

 Im too damned busy smoking booze and drinking pot

 How can I satisfy my messianic complex?

 How can I save you from the evils I cant name?

 Im not really anybody special but I wish so much I was

 This world is rigged but Im still dying to play the game

 Well the race is on, push forward through the swarming masses

Forward to the furnace where well turn to ashes

 And spread across the land to make the flowers and the grasses grow

 I think, no, no, no I hope its so

 Well I dont know, but Ive been told

 Youre born to die and not to grow old

 And in the morning she will rise and say she loves me

 The fact that she aint real dont matter to me much

 I might be sorry come tomorrow but tonight Im just a man

 And goddamn! She looks like shed be heavenly to touch

 And in the evening as the light is slowly fading

 And as the hawks make lazy circles in the sky

 And as the fireflies start dancing and the forests come alive

 Ill say now what a pretty place for me to die

 If time is just a fiction, and life is but a dream

 Then pay no heed to scriptures as they flash across your screen

 Were all as lost as pebbles that are cast into a stream

 And you cant trust your eyeballs because nothings what it seems

And there was Grandma, swingin from the outhouse door

Without her nightie, Grandpa singin more, more, more

Match in a gas tank, boom boom!
