The Nu Temptations

I was surprised and I started to choke
 when I saw that the stars in your eyes
 said you were telling a joke
 Still something's wrong
 It sounds like a tune
 so I assume that it's really a song
 You felt it, the pain
 You were proud of the shame
 that hung down aligned with your spine
 It is yours, not mine
 Still there you stand
 with support for the neck
 and the shoulders, yes even your hands
 Speak without a clue The new temptations
 keep on stalking you
 create a new plan, make it hard to understand
 Put it to the people, ignore the question why
 They ran from the one who was hiding the sun
 and tried to compete in the streets
 where you lose when you've won
 The big surprise
 A crown made of razor and wire
 surrounded by flies
 Speak without a clue
 The new temptations
 keep on stalking you
 Create a new plan, make it hard to understand
 Put it to the people, ignore the question why
 Worthless treasure
 I want nothing
 Guilty pleasures, keep your money
 Don't offend me so stop pretending
 you're never bored and seldom angry
 Speak without a clue
 The new temptations
 keep on stalking you
 Create a new plan, make it hard to understand
 The new temptations
 They keep on stalking you
 Create a new plan, make it hard to understand
 It's hard to understand the new temptations
 It's hard to understand the new temptations
