The Loving Sounds of Static

this world's not right
it's a losing fight
and this music's not what you want
it's a business now
there's ins and outs
and the life you had
you'll lose somehow

you know you had, once a jest
anything that hasn't passed the test by 1996
yeah that's not part of it

you keep it to yourself
and no one knows the deal
but you're not alone
that's just a show
and gold in a cross
some spoken thoughts
they rust a lot
the life we had
that's over now
yeah that's not part of it

you know you had, once a jest
anything that hasn't passed the test by 1996
