Life's About to Imitate Art

lyrics

Hardly anyone foresaw
How quickly we would fall
How quickly we would fall

Life's about to imitate art
Watch it come apart
Critique it as it comes apart

This is such a strange occurrence
Who here is a saint?
Who here really ain't?

Different people doing better
More are doing worse
It's getting even worse

Don't you find it odd?
Don't you find it really odd?
Isn't there a god?
Someone looking out for us?

The hinge on which the danger swung
Affected everyone
But nothing's being done

I don't want to feel ignored
Forgotten by the world
We really thought we'd change the world

Don't you find it odd?
Don't you find it really odd?
Isn't there a god?
Someone looking out for us?

Joy as you begin it.
Joy as you end it.
