Living with the Big Lie (1998 Remastered Version)

It all began with the bright light

The bright light and the noise

The chaos of the senses and the scream of desireTouching and being touched

A million loose ends to tie up

Ticking of the clock and the cradle rockThe colours stand still

And then they move around

Comin' in and out of focus upside downEmpty winter trees

How space feels

Love of the soft ... the flowers and the skyOne fine day

The chaos subsides

Bleeds into awareness

And a lifetime of surpriseThe beauty of your mothers eyes

The pain when you fall

You drink it in and marvel at it all

But you never really figure it outYou get used to itThe babble of the family

And the dumb TV

Roar of the traffic and the thunder of jetsChemicals in the water

Drugs in the food

The heat of the kitchen and the beat of the systemThe attitude of authority

The laws and the rules

Hit me square in the face, first morning at schoolThe heroes and the zeroes

The first love of my life

When to kiss and to kick and to keep your head down

When they're choosing the sidesI was never any good at it

I was terrified most of the time

I never got over itI got used to itAlone in the city at seventeen

With the hollow and the lonely

The drowning and the drowned

I was made to feel worthless

The wretched and the mean

Beat me up like a weapon I can't run away from or find a way roundHoldin' on, holdin' onThe greed and the missiles

Exploding somewhere every day

Hideous dark secrets under the sea and in holes in the groundThe cold war's gone

But those bastards'll find us another one

They're here to protect you, don't you know?

So get used to it

Get used to it!The clash of religions

And the loaded prayers

Information

The face of starvation and the state of the nationThe sense that it's useless

And the fear to try

Not believing the leaders, the media that feed us

Living with the big lieYou get used to it

Get used to it!

It's okay, I got used to it
