It seems the pen is so much mightier
than the sword that slices for answers
you distract me with a smooth sleight of hand
this lab rat is running out of gas
a policy of don't tell and never ask
this unholy alliance couldn't be more bland

It's my collective amnesia
It only helps me to forget so much
reinforcing i don't need ya
think that be enough

In the center with all rifles drawn
smiling at the targets my eyes are on
the same ol' shit couldn't be more stale
and i got proof with a paper trail

The boats sail in different directions
stark naked without protection
keep tight with all my freudian slips

It's my collective amnesia
It only helps me to forget so much
reinforcing i don't need ya
isn't that enough

In the center with all rifles drawn
smiling at the targets my eyes are on
the same ol' shit couldn't be more stale
and i got proof with a paper trail

Standing in the center with rifles drawn
smiling at the targets my eyes are on
empty out every shattered shell
cause i got the goods with this paper trail.
