  • Goodbye, the future's sold out
    There's no use screaming
    Who thought we'd ever get this far?

    Tonight, your faith has come down
    To money and a TV
    Psychics who've never been to Mars
    And Nazis breast feeding
    I know you must be upset
    I can't find meaning
    I'm sorry, we're sorry
    We're all scared, all scared

    Hey, is anybody home?
    Has anybody wasted tears on loneliness that everyone

    Goodnight, the truth has come out
    That everyone's needy
    White teeth, a ticket to meet God
    And be all that you envy
    Shotgun under your bed
    Has started breathing
    You shot it, you shot it
    I'm bare, I'm bare

    Hey, is anybody home?
    Is anybody wasting tears on loneliness that everyone becomes?
    Is anybody low?
    Is anybody painting fear on bedroom walls that save us from?

    Is anybody home?
    Is anybody wasting tears on loneliness that everyone becomes
    When they're not alright

    Hey, is anybody home?
    Has anybody wasted tears on loneliness that everyone becomes?
    Is anybody low?
    Has anybody painted fear on the bedroom walls that everyone becomes
    Becomes, becomes, becomes, becomes, becomes
    The loneliness that everyone becomes Writer/s: Arnold Lanni, Michael Maida

  • Ashley from Moncton, CanadaThis was so awesome live!! The whole place was singing and screaming, and it was so awesome, one of the best moments of the show. Best concert I've ever seen (partly because they opened with Naveed and ended with Starseed.)
  • Max from Toronto, Canadathe live version of this song includes a chilling intro not found on the original version. anyone who likes the song should check it out. it's on olp's live disc.
  • Kieran from D.c., Vanot an OLP fan but this song is good, so is one man army
