Our educated minds set free
Desmond's in toxology
Uninspired by left and right
And unsure where we'll sleep tonight
Our biggest hope a lottery
Immobilised by big TV's
A mother thinks you live in sin
You're holding on for that instant win
And if we're racing through the night
In our chemical delight
No matter how this looks to you
It's just the best that we can do
All around us life's at speed
Shops to buy all that we need
We spend our change, we start to spin
An amusement ride, the 'state we're in'
Beside ourselves, beneath the sun
We fall apart, we come undone
My life and your's mean just the same
But I don't need someone to blame
And if we're racing through the night
In our chemical delight
No matter how this looks to you
It's just the best that we can do
