Black Cross:Commercial Break

(LIFE GETS A) COMMERCIAL BREAK lyrics copyright Rob Pennington

I'll KNOCK you out of bed and stand you on your feet
Their words are sanctified but poison and discreet
You never sleep when you're alone
You only need to be alone

you're such a baby, don't say a word
quiet quiet
don't listen to what you've heard

come children won't you listen
to the words inside your head
television life ain't easy
smash your set and wake the dead
come on

All of these restless children
Awake in bed
All twitch and move like wire
It's too late
all of these restless children
waiting for commercial break
all dream of streets on fire
It's too late
and if you listen closely
to the words upon their lips
they speak in ones and zeros
they speak in ones and zeros

We are all broken pieces
We're never satisfied
