[Xiii american eulogy]

Sing us a song of the century

It sings like american eulogy

The dawn of my love and conspiracy

Forgotten hope and the class of 13

Tell me a story into that goodnight

Sing us a song for me

[A. mass hysteria]

Hysteria, mass hysteria!

Mass hysteria!

Mass hysteria!

Red alert is the colour of panic

Elevated to the point of static

Beating into the hearts of the fanatics

And the neighborhood's a loaded gun

Idle thought lead to full-throttle screaming

And the welfare is asphyxiating

Mass confusion is all the new age and it's creating a feeding ground for the bottom feeders of hysteria

Hysteria, mass hysteria!

Mass hysteria!

Mass hysteria!

Mass hysteria!

True sounds of maniacal laughter

And the deafmute is misleading the choir

The punchline 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!

Mass hysteria!

There's a disturbance on the oceanside

They tapped into the reserve

The static response is so unclear now

Mayday this is not a test!

As the neighborhood burns, america is falling

Vigilantes warning ya,

Calling christian and gloria

[Bridge + solo]

[B. modern world]

I don't wanna live in the modern world!

I don't wanna live in the modern world!

I don't wanna live in the modern world!

I don't wanna 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 wanna live in the modern world!

I don't wanna live in the modern world!

I don't wanna live in the modern world!

I don't wanna live in the modern world!

I am a nation without bureaucratic ties

Deny the allegation as it's written (fucking lies!)

I want to take a ride to the great divide

Beyond the "up to date" and the neo-gentrified

The high definition for the low resident

Where the value 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

With money to burn on a minimum wage

I don't give a shit about the modern age

I don't wanna live in the modern world!

I don't wanna live in the modern world!

I don't wanna live in the modern world!

I don't wanna live in the modern world!

I don't wanna live in the modern world! (mass hysteria!)
