I've been a bug for a while
The kind who gets crushed
Under a shoe with a smile

Oh how important it was
To get some approval
And maybe gain your applause

So very skilled and keen
At making up stories
That are both vile and obscene

Lies are just a point of view
Trust in distrust
And all your dreams will come true

Your golden showers drench our minds
We soak it up and fall asleep blind
Who is cool and who is brave?
Who is the fool and who's the slave?

Hold me mother
Hug me father
Let's dry our faces
My sisters and brothers

I felt quite shaken, not stirred
Now look at this fist while I raise up my third
For you
Only you
(Raise your third!)
(Raise your third!)

Your golden showers drench our minds
We soak it up and fall asleep blind
Who is cool and who is brave?
Who is the fool and who's the slave?

Hold me mother
Hug me father
Let's dry our faces
My sisters and brothers
