  • Is this what we really want
    Background music from a restaurant
    Spare me, it's doing in my head
    Drop dead gorgeous teen
    Singing pages from her diary
    So bad, you'd kick her out of bed

    Break down the stupid wall
    Stop doing what you're told
    And don't believe a thing you see
    Red light, drop that ball
    Stop getting everything you want
    And get a piece of what you need

    Life on the happy pills
    Counts on Pfizer to erase our ills
    It's working, I'm feeling pretty blank
    So sing, sing soulless boy
    Give us more of your simple joy
    It's soothing, money in the bank

    Break down the stupid wall
    Stop doing what you're told
    And don't believe a thing you see
    Red light, drop that ball
    Stop getting everything you want
    And get a piece of what you need

    Oh, say can't you see
    We're kinda, sorta living free
    Staring into space
    Bye, bye human race

    Break down the stupid wall
    Let's stop doing what we're told
    And don't believe a thing you see
    Oh, red light, drop that ball
    Stop getting everything we want
    And get a piece of what we need
