Conflict of Interest

Conflict of interest, you're split right in two
Your convictions lie between your shadow and you
When I need your help and I'm heading your way
Both of your halves turn the same shade of grey
Conflict of interest

Here I am alone on the street
With hundreds of people whose eyes never meet
The looks that I get are to say the least strange
This social disorder, some things never change

Take a number, get in line
Hurry up and take your time
Don't make waves, you'll do just fine
Make sure your interests don't conflict with mine

Every day is the same
When you scream outrages all I say is tame
You stumble blindly, I don't really care
But it's my street too, so stay outta my hair

Take a number, get in line
Hurry up and take your time
Don't make waves you'll do just fine
Make sure your interests don't conflict with mine

To my jaded eyes everyday is the same
When you scream outrages all I say is tame
You stumble blindly, I don't really care
But it's my street too, so stay outta my hair
Conflict of interest

Take a number, get in line
Hurry up and take your time
Don't make waves, you'll do just fine
Make sure your interests don't conflict with mine

Take a number, get in line
Hurry up and take your time
Don't make waves, you'll do just fine
Make sure your interests don't conflict with mine
