Life on the edge
is harder than it seems,
the first one to burn out is a tragedy
and after that, you won’t find much sympathy
for our stupid, stupid ways
Top 40 radio at its best

the ridiculous is now sane.
The money, modeling, movies, fame
that fucking dog and the Simple Life.
The typical stuck-up American,

And thank you for that tape, Paris,
your charity has been well received
I wonder what great contribution you’ll make next
to the bane [...]

smash you in the head
free to give up your rights

Don’t dare question it,
The danger is real
Act now while you’re still free
to give up your freedom
free to give up your rights,
can you put a name on fear?
WHO’S THE TERRORIST [...]
