Us Idiots
Versions: #1I was born under the darkest of suns
Grew up in a group of five on the bridge
I was dreaming, I was dozing off in school
I never got peace from others
Now, I look outside every single day
At the same windows across the street
They give me pills to fall asleep
Perhaps to never wake up again
And even my light is glowing black
I took a job at a giant factory
Hands had to do the talking, and words needed to be hidden, yeah
When I got fired and was in over my head again
My hands could barely even embrace myself
Now I'm stepping into a white office
They think, 'There goes the idiot'
They give me a name and somewhere to go
Where they send me back again
Sun, please emerge and open my eyelids
From the lies and the promises I believed in
They trick me from the very first moment
And even my light is glowing black
We used to be able to run off
With empty bottles for the deposit refund, yeah
My friend and I, we stole this and that1
He made the plans and I followed suit
Now I'm stepping into the idiot office
There sits my childhood friend across the desk
I draw a number
