lyrics

Look at your face in the mirror
Nothing to get out of it
Bring it up in conversation
Demonstrate your innocence

Looking for a golden ticket
Get me the fuck out of here
Type this letter on graph paper
Send it to america

Take a look at this picture
No-one could be more relaxed
This is all part of our nature
Taking useless photographs

I've looked through this foggy window
Nothing is safe anymore
It's getting harder to imagine
That I was a child before

Looking back is an overstatement
Memory deceives us all the time
Juxtaposed word and image
Abide by no storyline

Look it up, gain an opinion
You've got nothing to lose
Now we can all be activists
Without leaving our bedrooms

Look for the perfect answer
Now it's your chance to be heard
Intellect is now the act
Of spewing out a dead man's words

Look at your face in the mirror
Weren't you a pacifist before?
Now your heart screams out for blood
To spill on your front door.
