Not So Dense Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Have you ever felt too far gone to be a sinner
But you know yourself too well to ever be a saint
Well it's okay now, the kids are making models
Of God out of papier-mâché

Why did you vow to take the decadent path
'Cause you smile like a devil and shut up like a trap
Well it's okay, now you fixed your scruff
So now you can be properly scragged

[Chorus]
Well, despair and diseases spread on dollar bills
Convenience, well, it strips you bare of consciousness

[Verse 2]
Have you ever felt a moment of aphasia?
Have you ever met your match at the apex?
You ever fall down so hard that everything shakes?
Have you ever been in the corner of a room
And it feels like the farthest corner of the world?
Did you find it hard just to be so unsure?

[Chorus]
Well, despair and diseases spread on dollar bills
Convenience, well, it strips you bare of consciousness
Consciousness
[Verse 3]
Well, there ain't no arrows on the moon
And there ain't no wishes on the stars
And there ain't no hero in the world
We got no reason to feel sure

[Verse 4]
Farmed in a factory gets devoured
And the manmade machinery gets empowered
And if you don't your milk young man
You know it will turn sour
And I watch sixty minutes go by hour after hour after hour

[Chorus]
Well, despair and diseases spread on dollar bills
Convenience, well, it strips you bare of consciousness
Consciousness
Consciousness
Consciousness
