The Pursuit of Emptiness

Lyrics

Trapped inside the impression that we are significant Our self-indulgence spreads like the chaos of ants What Earth is to the universe, man is to Earth It's as simple as that What is it that places us on top of the food chain? What is in our bodies that deems us as kings? I never understood the errors of mankind Yet I played the failure myself Cause it flows in out bloodstream See the root of our being The reason we believe we will always succeed "Money can't buy happiness", they say Oh yes, it can Who wouldn't want it anyway Crippling society Cause first you crawl, then you walk Take one step at a time What a twist An unfortunate series of event coming your way False accusations derive form mistakes Mistakes you -oh so humanly- made As timelines progress, values reverse Your crime is applauded Is it not allowed to be uneducated? It it morally and politically incorrect? The art of illusion mastered by all Who can tell a truth from a lie? "Money can't buy happiness", they say Oh yes, it can Who wouldn't want it anyway Crippling society Cause first you crawl, then you walk Take one step at a time Cause it flows in out bloodstream See the root of our being The reason we believe we will always succeed "Money can't buy happiness", they say Oh yes, it can Who wouldn't want it anyway Crippling society Cause first you crawl, then you walk Take one step at a time
