I've been pissing in the wind
Quarreling upstream without a paddle
I can hear the hustle and bustling
On the city streets
They're moving like cattle
Good god, the winter's grueling
But it sure beats melting with
An icy pole in the gutter
Is there anybody listening?
Have the naysayers taken over the station?
We're losing our common senses
We're losing our common senses
We're losing our common senses
Common, common, common sense civilian
Go and start the martian worshiping
Encouraging earthlings to
Think outside the bubble
Making efforts to keep shepherding
Superstition fact from the fiction
Born without a muzzle
Dazzling with curiosity
Vicious with your comments
When your plummet in a scuffle
Never took the time
For the lollipop lady
Always waiting with patience
We're losing our common senses
We're losing our common senses
We're losing our common senses
Common, common, common sense civilian
Keep 'em coming, communing on the ranch
Do the dancing Dennis Wilson
Charlie Manson shuffle
Maybe you got too much time
On your hands?
Smoking crack the hypochondriac
Ain't very subtle
Digging deep into conspiracies
The moon landing, 9/11, JFK
Lee Harvey Oswald
Now you're stripped of ya liberties
Are ya turning into a human surveillance?
♪
You're the rambunctious rousing type
Loose cannon mutant capitalizing
On the vulnerable
Helpless in a stranglehold
Your names been dragged through the dirt
Six ways from Sunday, well deserved
Reputations tarnished, down the gurgler
