when I think about how I came to be
out of limitless energy
I become cosmic evolution and momentum
but somewhere down the block
a man is screaming
a car is accelerating
and somewhere downtown
an empty elevator opens, closes
it's just a swirling mass in a charged dance
polarized
it's just a swirling mass in a charged dance
polarized
if that's the way, if that's the way
the way it is then I don't mind
and if that's the way, if that's the way
the way it is then it is what it is and I don't mind
I am drugged with simulacra
I am brainwashed and numb
brainwashed and numb with apathy
but somewhere down the block
a man is screaming
a car is accelerating
and somewhere downtown
an empty elevator opens, closes
if that's the way, if that's the way
the way it is then I don't mind
and if that's the way, if that's the way
the way it is then it is what it is and I don't mind
it's just a swirling mass in a charged dance
polarized
it's just a swirling mass in a charged dance
polarized
it's just a swirling mass in a charged dance
polarized
it's just a swirling mass in a charged dance
polarized
somewhere down the block
a man is screaming
a car is accelerating
and somewhere downtown
an empty elevator opens, closes
if that's the way, if that's the way
the way it is then I don't mind
and if that's the way, if that's the way
the way it is then it is what it is and I don't mind
