American Eulogy: Mass Hysteria / Modern World - Live at Akasaka Blitz, Tokyo, Japan, 5/28/09

Sing us the song of the century
 That sings like American eulogy
 The dawn of my love and conspiracy
 Of forgotten hope and the class of 13
 Tell me a story into that goodnight
 Sing us a song for me
 Mass hysteria
 Mass hysteria
 Mass hysteria
 Mass hysteria
 Red alert is the color of panic
 Elevated to the point of static
 Beating into the hearts of the fanatics
 And the neighborhood's a loaded gun
 Idle thought leads to full-throttle screaming
 And the welfare is asphyxiating
 Mass confusion is all the new rage
 And it's creating a feeding ground
 For the bottom feeders of hysteria
 Mass hysteria
 Mass hysteria
 Mass hysteria
 Mass hysteria
 True sounds of maniacal laughter
 And the deaf-mute is misleading the choir
 The punchline is a natural disaster
 And it's sung by the unemployed
 Fight fire with a riot
 The class war is hanging on a wire
 Because the martyr is a compulsive liar
 When he said
 "It's just a bunch of niggers throwing gas into the hysteria
 Mass hysteria
 Mass hysteria
 Mass hysteria
 Mass hysteria
 There's a disturbance on the oceanside
 They tapped into the reserve
 The static response is so unclear now
 Mayday, this is not a test!
 As the neighborhood burns, America is falling
 Vigilantes warning you
 Calling Christian and Gloria
 I don't want to live in the modern world
 I don't want to live in the modern world
 I don't want to live in the modern world
 I don't want to live in the modern world
 I'm the class of thirteen
 In the era of dissent
 A hostage of the soul
 On a strike to pay the rent
 The last of the rebels
 Without a common ground
 I'm gonna light a fire
 Into the underground
 I don't want to live in the modern world
 I don't want to live in the modern world
 I don't want to live in the modern world
 I don't want to live in the modern world
 I am a nation
 Without bureaucratic ties
 Deny the allegation as it's written
 I want to take a ride to the great divide
 Beyond the
 "up to date
 And the neo-gentrified
 The high definition for the low resident
 Where the value of your mind
 Is not held in contempt
 I can hear the sound of
 A beating heart
 That bleeds beyond a system
 That's falling apart
 With money to burn
 On minimum wage
 Cause I don't give a shit
 About the modern age
 I don't want to live in the modern world
 I don't want to live in the modern world
 I don't want to live in the modern world
 I don't want to live in the modern world
 I don't want to live in the modern world
 Mass hysteria
 I don't want to live in the modern world
 Mass hysteria
 I don't want to live in the modern world
 Mass hysteria
 I don't want to live in the modern world
 Mass hysteria
