Focus? We didn't even notice We awake in a place We can barely recognize, yeah Hypnosis And you can justify it all Your back is up against the wall again Shut up, silence Add a little violence And offend and pretend And defend and demand my compliance And you can always justify The missile trails across the sky again So what are you waiting for? You got what you asked for Did it fix what was wrong with you? Are you less than? Go and look what you gone done Come on welcome oblivion Did it fix what was wrong with you? Are you less than? Needful Too many fucking people You'll have to take care of yourselves You know I've got my hands full And you can always justify The missile trails across the sky again Come on, what are you waiting for? You got what you asked for Did it fix what was wrong with you? Are you less than? And look what you gone done Welcome oblivion Did it fix what was wrong inside? Are you less than? So what are you waiting for? You got what you asked for Did it fix what was wrong with you? Are you less than? (Are you less than? Less than?) And look what you gone done Well, welcome oblivion Did it fix what was wrong inside? Are you less than?
