lyrics

Can you see the rain clouds building up?
Pretty soon we'll all be drenched to the bone
Who determines who will win or lose?
All I know is we don't get to choose
The way the red tape is tied around our necks
Like a noose

Dive, dive, dive
Under the surface
Keep diving down
Under the water
Don't try to breathe
'cause then you will drown
Red rag to a rainbow
I want to tempt you away
My crazy little sunbeam-
You're so might brighter
Than the monkey punching digits they've got tied to a bench

The mind's gone numb
But the heart is still on fire
It would burn this whole place down
If it just weren't so tired
The body sleeps on a sun-coloured hardware case
And fingers click
In search of a higher state
Of mind
To replace the one that's been left behind

So dive, dive, dive...
Jibber jibber jabber
Talk till you bleed
'Bout your corporate identity and will to succeed
That you really don't have but they tell you you need

Try going back to the place where you were born
To find the town has been razed to the floor
You walk the streets to find there's nothing left
Contemplate your monthly targets then
And see what feels most wrong.
