[Verse 1]
How are we supposed to know what's real?
The dirt, the bread, the snow, the rusty steel
Something in the neighborhood's not right
They'll stay indoors until the break of light
The clones, they've always said to stay in line
But I'd rather die than piss away my time
Our food's diseased by altered seeds and dyes
So we take a pill and trust the doctor's lie
[Chorus]
You want the hours back
Every night, a 12-pack
Stoned, they're all stoned
We want the hours back
Television soundtrack

Human, I am a rotten human
[Bridge]
On your way, on your way
On your way, on your way
On your way, on your way
On your way
[Chorus]
You want the hours back
Every night, a 12-pack
Stoned, they're all stoned
We want the hours back
Television soundtrack
Drones, no I won't
No I won't, no I won't
No I won't, no I won't
No I won't, no I won't
No I won't, no I won't
