Everybody's Numb

I'm pleased to meet you boys, you know it's been a while

Since I have had to fake delight just to raise a smile

You're squeezing hands and squeezing hits as good as anyone

And everybody's numb

Yeah, everybody's numb

And the sun's been slowly setting on your golden age

And you'll recheck the figures but you'll skip the page

Where the one thing that won't fit into your final sum

Is everybody's numb

Yeah, everybody's numb

And all the noise you're making sounds just like the rest

Salute the founders of the united states of emptiness

You can roll your eyes and write me off as paranoid

Tell me under Gucci suits lie twisted girls and tortured boys

But nothing gets my back up quite like martyrdom

When everybody's numb

And all the noise you're making sounds just like the rest

Salute the founders of the united states of emptiness

So send your armies out into the real world

Reciting lines from nursery rhymes, singing like a jailbird

Cos every Caesar needs a tranquiliser gun

Then everybody's numb

Yeah, every Ghandi needs his own Napoleon

Then everybody's numb

Yeah, everybody's numb

Sure, everybody's numb

Yeah, everybody's numb
