Im pleased to meet you boys, you know its been a while
Since I have had to fake delight just to raise a smile
Youre squeezing hands and squeezing hits as good as anyone
And everybodys numb
Yeah, everybodys numbAnd the suns been slowly setting on your golden age
And youll recheck the figures but youll skip the page
Where the one thing that wont fit into your final sum
Is everybodys numb
Yeah, everybodys numbAnd all the noise youre making sounds just like the rest
Salute the founders of the united states of emptinessYou can roll your eyes and write me off as paranoid
Tell me under Gucci suits lie twisted girls and tortured boys
But nothing gets my back up quite like martyrdom
When everybodys numbAnd all the noise youre making sounds just like the rest
Salute the founders of the united states of emptinessSo send your armies out into the real world
Reciting lines from nursery rhymes, singing like a jailbird
Cos every Caesar needs a tranquiliser gun
Then everybodys numb
Yeah, every Ghandi needs his own Napoleon
Then everybodys numb
Yeah, everybodys numb
Sure, everybodys numb
Yeah, everybodys numb
