Artist: dream theater
Song: just let me breathe
Year: 1998
Open your eyes and turn off your mind
Step right up folks
And you will find a growing trend
An epidemic spread with zen and hypodermics, yeah, yeah
Just close your mind
You can find all that you need with your eyes
The big machines take care of you
Until you kill yourself
And then the sales go through the roof
Calculated, formulated
Feed my head with simple thoughts
And let me breathe instead of being taught
All bottled up and tearing at the seams, I?m bored
Just let me breathe
A daily dose of emptyv
Will flush your mind right down the drain
Shannon Hoon and Kurt Cobain
Make yourself a household name, yeah, yeah, yeah
Just close your mind
You can find all that you need with your eyes
The big machines take care of you
Until you kill yourself
And then the sales go through the roof
Calculated, formulated
Feed my head with simple thoughts
And let me breathe instead of being taught
All bottled up and tearing at the seams, I?m bored
Just let me breathe
Strike up your best angst ridden posture, whoa
Manufactured anger, let?s not forget my legacy
All my heroes have failed me
Oh, now they?re dead and buried, yeah
Just close your mind
You can find all that you need with your eyes
The big machines will take care of you
Until the fashion fades
And the checks go through, my bankroll?s red
And my face is blue
And still they?ll turn their backs on me
For someone new
Feed my head with some real thoughts
And let me think instead of being taught
I?ll say things you won?t believe, just stand back
Just let me breathe
