You can get to the other side of it in no time at all

You can hang with the Dalai Lama and hear his views

Around here every mothers son has got some I can't use

Do you ever get the feeling you've seen it all?

You've been drinking it in for so long you can no longer call your liver small

Scarification is in, let's get a tattoo

or maybe we could get our noses pierced, I will if you do

I need a sweet diversion

Give me a sweet diversion

Turn on the TV, christ! they're still showing that?

By now everyone in Hollywood must think were all flat

Turn on the radio and hear some of that corporate drool

It's the best damn programming those computers know how to do

Pardon me, I didn't mean to monkey with the works

I know there's a delicate balance and we don't want no one to get hurt

But the 3rd worls is growing larger and the second world has slowed

and here in the first world we wait on the new fall shows

I need a sweet diversion

Give me a sweet diversion

Won't you be my diversion?

My sweet little diversion.
