¨they find popstars on game shows and celebrate mediocrity¨

lyrics

THE DEAF LEADING THE BLIND (John A Spittles)

I got something and you need it
But you dont even know it yet
You couldn´t see it if you faced it
And you probably never will
Well there´s something in your water
And it´s poisoning your ideals
The truth you never reveal
And you probably never will
Well i can see where this is going
becasue you dont believe in where it´s been
you just want to belong in the end
and i wonder what will you do
if that party starts without you
and you can´t get into the room
and your laminate want do
hay aint i on the guestlist
yeah but im a friend of so and so
your name dropping is an art form
and then you breeze on in
yeah but you cant see where this is going
because you dont believe in where it´s been
you just want to belong in the end
you find pop stars on game shows
manufactured and created
you celebrate mediocrity
and this bullshit never ends
i twist the dial to find a station
but i cant find it on my radio
that sound that i believe in
seems to be lost to the years
well i see where this is going
and i have seen where it has been
and im so happy i wont belong in the end
