I was born and raised in a cultural swamp
A wasteland where nothing real ever blooms
When I roamed young all my dreams
Came of off television screens and glossy magazines
But soon enough I got fed up
So I read up on the underground
And what I found turned everything upside down
It broke all routines
Excess
Keep me warm
Ignorance
Keep me safe
Been climbing mountains of plastic
While the devil burns holes in my pockets
You show me no heed
Ain't got what you nee
That's ok, never was much of a prophet
The water's poison, yet we drink
To self-absorbed to notice the stink
Excess
Keep me warm
Ignorance
Keep me safe
Excess
Keep me warm
Ignorance
Keep me safe
We're out of drugs
Let's make some new
They'll keep our hearts
From feeling blue
When the world goes up in flames
And all we know goes down the drain
New distractions replace the old
Echoing with promise of fool's gold
Without dignity and without depth
We'll rape that horse 'til there's nothing left
Excess
Keep me warm
Ignorance
Keep me safe
Excess
Keep me warm
Ignorance
Keep me safe
