Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. May 28, 2010]

Hi to all the people that are selling me
Here's one straight from the factory
They sew my eyes up in their sockets
I dip my hand into their pockets

Is there anybody there?
I could swear I'm not alone
Show your faces if you dare
Slaving platinum to bone

One big man with the good connection
Takes the whole damn ship in the wrong direction
I don't mind him misinterpreting me
I hate it when he gets us lost out to sea

Is there anybody there?
I could swear I'm not alone
Show your faces if you dare
Slaving platinum to bone

Is there anybody there?
I could swear I'm not alone
Show your faces if you dare
Slaving platinum to bone

Late at night when I'm lying in bed
I've got to say a prayer for my daily bread
And early in the morning when I'm still asleep
You sit upon your throne making grown men weep
With boredom
