Animals on TV singing about some pain that they once felt Theres no one I disapprove of more or root for more than myself I wanted to pretend that it was better, better, better on the phone I didnt wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous and alone So we talk about ourselves in hell To forget the love we never felt All the old jokes that work so well Universal truth was a moments lie Dont try to stop us Dont try to stop us Dont try to stop us Get out of the way Got to get to climb your tree in the light of the living ghost I see She sees her father in that old mans eyes while secretly he stares at her thighs Animals on TV singing about some pain they felt at some point I didnt wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous, whats the point? As I watch the velvet drapes appear And the door was closed for forty years As we hide what we dont wanna hear As we hide whats really in our ears He is coming from a part of hell Where lightning blue eyes dont go down well He can tell that were oblivious Its addiction of routine as well Making fools out of the best of us Making robots of the rest of us Innocence itself in America today Is a crime just like Cornel West might say Dont try to stop us Dont try to stop us Dont try to stop us Get out of the way
jealous, stop, try, felt, cornel
