Scream Until the World Gets Right

I want something different in my life.
 And I want something worth the pain once in a while.
 But all I can buy is a week's worth of compliments.
 All I can get is a momentary boost.
 All I can gain is a false sense of confidence.
 Close as I get, I'm still too far from you.
 I want to get you off every night.
 And I want to scream until the world gets right.
 But all I can buy is a ten minute fantasy.
 All I can get is the simulated truth.
 All I can have is your temporary stand-in
 and as close as I get, I'm still too far from you.
 I hate that you're never gonna change your mind.
 And I want a love that I will never find.
 'cause all I can buy is an artificial happiness.
 All I can get is some pre-processed truth.
 All I can have is the red light special
 and as close as I get, I'm still so far from you.
