Lyrics
Every morning, we read the... Funny papers.
They sell the hate there, 'cause that's what pays the bills.
But we see through it, all the... Propaganda,
The lies and slander. . . curiosity that kills.
It's business as usual it seems. . . their version of the truth.
But I don't think that's what our forefathers meant . . .
It's like a verdict without no proof.
So they're painting the pictures that only... they think we need to see.
But I don't care what they say, Just as long as it don't affect me.
Cause All I need is an... Arm around me.
The sky above me. . . And room to breathe.
And all I want if for... You to love me, I mean
Really love me, and all I want I s all I need.
Now the empty headed sheeple dress and do just what they're told.
They live as slaves to plastic and fight the fear of growing old.
Lead (over a Verse)
They're busy honking and shoving each other... Just tryin' to live "the dream";
But fame and fortune and technology; You know it's not all that it seems....
All I need is an... Arm around me.
The sky above me. . . And room to breathe.
And all I want if for... You to love me, I mean
Really love me, and all I want. . . Is all I need.
