[Streetlight Manifesto - Would You Be Impressed? lyrics]
Would you be upset if I
Told you we were dying?
And every cure they gave us was a lie?
Oh! They mean it when they
Say we're dead and doomed
And every single symptom brings us
Closer to the tomb
And who will take the credit
For our swift impending fall
Because it's not my fault
Would you be impressed if I said that
The dead would help us counting
Every single moment that we waste our time
All the time we're spending
Vaccinating this disease
I just get dizzy when I think of all
The ways we try to hide our maladies we wine
(we wine) , we dine (we dine)
And everything is fine
Because it's not my fault
Now you're upset because you
Finally got the notion
That everything you had is
Spinning down the drain
Oh! Do you mean it when you
Beg and pray and plead?
You're "Give it to me give it
To me give it to
Me give it to me all those things we need"
And what, pray tell
Will you whimper when your
Number will be called
You'll say "It's not my fault"
Go! Now! The others they'll await you
And every single one among the lot
Of you will have your turn ai Ai Ai Oh Oh Oh
Like moths that fly into the flame
It always ends up so
You scream: "Not me! Take anybody else!
Because it's not my fault!"
I had a dream last night
Where everyone was trying
Subconsciously I knew it was a lie
And when I woke I knew it was time to pray
To make amends before the end
Before my judgment day
I looked around, I stood alone
I knew what I had to say
I said "It's all my fault"
Told you we were dying?
And every cure they gave us was a lie?
Oh! They mean it when they
Say we're dead and doomed
And every single symptom brings us
Closer to the tomb
And who will take the credit
For our swift impending fall
Because it's not my fault
Would you be impressed if I said that
The dead would help us counting
Every single moment that we waste our time
All the time we're spending
Vaccinating this disease
I just get dizzy when I think of all
The ways we try to hide our maladies we wine
(we wine) , we dine (we dine)
And everything is fine
Because it's not my fault
Now you're upset because you
Finally got the notion
That everything you had is
Spinning down the drain
Oh! Do you mean it when you
Beg and pray and plead?
You're "Give it to me give it
To me give it to
Me give it to me all those things we need"
And what, pray tell
Will you whimper when your
Number will be called
You'll say "It's not my fault"
Go! Now! The others they'll await you
And every single one among the lot
Of you will have your turn ai Ai Ai Oh Oh Oh
Like moths that fly into the flame
It always ends up so
You scream: "Not me! Take anybody else!
Because it's not my fault!"
I had a dream last night

Subconsciously I knew it was a lie
And when I woke I knew it was time to pray
To make amends before the end
Before my judgment day

I said "It's all my fault"
