Everybody, Nobody

[Verse 1]
Nobody's waiting, nobody's called me
Everybody's kissing, everybody's cuddling
Nobody's holding, nobody's touching
Everybody's looking, everybody judging
Nobody's crying, nobody's smiling
Everybody's medicated, everybody's hijacked
Someone tells a joke, nobody laughs
Someone lights a joint but nobody drags

[Chorus]
So I'll keeping holding my breath till death presses stop
Or at least till the air runs out
Cause there's no point watching the clock

[Verse 2]
Nobody's dreaming, nobody's thinking
Everybody's scheming, everybody's drinking
Someone sticks the knife in
A doctor pulls it out
Some kid gets some kudos, another doesn't make it out
Everybody's counting, everybody's voting
Nobody's feeling, nobody's doting
Everybody's fucking, everybody's cursing
Nobody's waltzing, nobody's immersing

[Chorus]
So I'll keeping holding my breath till death presses stop
Or at least till the air runs out
Cause there's no point watching the clock

Nobody's jesting, no-one's protesting
Everyone's abusing, everyone's molesting
The newspaper lie and fabricate the truth
To sell more copies of their 'guide to doom and gloom'

It's no wonder no-ones cheerful, nobody's breezing
Everybody's fearful, everybody's wheezing
Someone sticks the knife in
A mother pulls it out
Some kid gets some kudos, another doesn't make it out

So I'll keeping holding my breath till death presses stop
Or at least till the air runs out
Cause remember there's no point watching the clock
