"Don't you know that memories are deceitful little things? | That refuse to take the rap when the truth spills on in | We lie to ourselves | Pretend it's okay | Try to make conversation | But there's nothing to say | Look in the mirror man and see just what you are | Smile slashed across your face like a lobotomy scar | Some new distraction, another cheap cigarette | A bad taste in the mouth is all I seem to get..."YOU GET WHAT YOURE GIVEN "I was looking at the stars but all I could see was a TV satellite | And the slipstream of an aeroplane bisecting the night | We are bored in the city because the Temple of the Sun | Got turned into a theme bar for over 21s | You don't get what you give, you get what you're given | But man, just see how large you're living | Oh don't you know it's true? | After all this time I think you finally understand | Why all the things that smell so good always taste so bland | You keep on telling me about all the things you've got | But man, all that I can see are all the things you've lost | You don't get what you give, you get what you're given..." |
