Smoke Or Fire - Life Imitating Art Lyrics
Bang. Bang. It's sex and violenceon the television. Give us all a cultural distraction or the cure.Who's strong. Who's fast, who's in the game.We've made our lives a competitionand we all should be ashamed.On the couch into the window of the world.Who cares who ends up hurt as longas we're all entertained.Who to be, what to eat, what to wear.How would we make decisions if the TVwasn't there. We are laughing at each other. Are we so insecure?We are staring into the eyes of someonewho isn't there. Life is not a work of art.These moments were never meant to last.We're so afraid to live our own lives.It's the epitome of instinct.We're sad, happy, depraved. Wave a prizein front of us and watch us dance forratings game.Who to be, what to eat, what to wear.How would we make decisions if the televisionwasn't there? Does it kill enough of your time?Does it numb enough of your mind?It feels so empty when we speak.That's because we're still asleep.We are laughing at each other. Are we so insecure?We are staring into the eyes of someone who isn't there.Life is not a work of art.These moments were never meant to last.We're so afraid to live our own lives.Our lives are lies.
