Sing us a song of the century
sings like American eulogy
The dawn of my love and conspiracy
Of forgotten hope
and the class of 13
Tell me a story into that goodnight
Sing us a song for Me
Hysteria
Mass Hysteria
Mass Hysteria
Mass Hysteria
Red alert is the color of panic
Elevated to the point of static
Beating into the heart
of the fanatics
And the neighborhood's a
loaded gun
Idle thought leads to
full throttle screaming
And the welfare is asphyxiating
Mass confusion is
all the new rage
And it's creating a feeding ground
For the bottom feeders of hysteria
Mass Hysteria
Mass Hysteria
Mass Hysteria
True sounds of maniacal laughter
And the deaf mute is misleading
the choir
The punch line is a
natural disaster
And it's sung by the unemployed
Fight fire with a riot
The class war is hanging
on a wire
Because the martyr is a
compulsive liar
When he said
It's just a bunch of niggers
throwing gas into the hysteria
Mass Hysteria
Mass Hysteria
Mass Hysteria
There's a disturbance
on the ocean side
They tapped into the reserve
The static response
is so unclear now
Mayday this is not a test
As the neighborhood burns
American is falling
Vigilantes warning you
Calling Christian and Gloria
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I'm the class of 13
In the era of dissent
A hostage of the soul
On a strike to pay the rent
The last of the rebels
Without a common ground
I'm gonna light a fire
Into the underground
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I am a nation
Without bureaucratic ties
Deny the allegation as
it's written
I want to take a ride to the
great divide
Beyond the Up to date
And then neo gentrified
The high definition for the
low resident
Where the valve of your mind
Is not held in contempt
I can hear the sound of
A beating heart
That bleeds beyond a system
That's falling apart
Without money to burn
On a minimum wage
'Cause I don't give a shit
About the modern age
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I don't want to live in the
modern world
I don't want to live in the
modern world
