Shakedown

I've got gum in my hair, I've got blood on my shoes
 I've got a million different reasons to be singing the blues
 But mainly I'm just confused, is there something I missed?
 It's like everyone is doomed, but nobody's pissed
 And I'm alive, I'm alive, but it doesn't feel right
 It's like I'm under the control of an undetectable device
 Wait, I've got answers in my hand, Siri, what is wrong with me?
 She says she doesn't understand, then feeds me links on irony
 This is beginning to feel like a shakedown
 We're sailing sideways through a fallacy
 Trying not to slip and choke on the way down
 Cover your assets if you know what I mean
 I've got a bucket of dreams, I've got a head full of steam
 I'm much too privileged to preach, did fascists kill this machine?
 If I was sleeping, then I swear I'm awake now
 Because I'm drowning in a fallacy
 ♪
 I took a seat at the table, I cut the deck with my stare
 Bet all my chips on a straight, the bastard won with a pair
 I felt the ship begin to shake, I felt a change in the air
 I set a picnic on the plank and dropped my tickets to the fair
 God lit a candle on Monday so he could build us a home
 He let it burn until Sunday, then took a seat at his throne
 The world caught fire, flames grew higher as he left it alone
 And now it's too damn hot to touch
 The flesh just drips right off the bone
 But I'm still confused, I'm stuck on the fence
 Between "missing the point" and "there's nothing to get"
 As we're fighting to find meaning to this ride around the sun
 I've heard a million different reasons and can't believe a single one
 This is beginning to feel like a shakedown
 We're sailing sideways through a fallacy
 Trying not to slip and choke on the way down
 Cover your assets if you know what I mean
 I've got a bucket of dreams, I've got a head full of steam
 I'm much too privileged to preach, did fascists kill this machine?
 If I was sleeping, then I swear I'm awake now
 Because I'm drowning in a fallacy
 This is beginning to feel like a shakedown
 Because I'm drowning in a fallacy
 This is beginning to feel like a shakedown
 Drowning in a fallacy
 I've got a brain full of bees, I bite my tongue 'til it bleeds
 Up to my neck in concrete, I really want to believe
 That if I was sleeping, then I swear I'm awake now
 Because I'm drowning in a fallacy
