You said it's all a mess
Good to hear you anyway
We are now overwhelmed with good old perfection
We know the TV sucks
We have much more to learn

You think you are complicated
Don't worry so am I
You ain't the only one
No matter what they say
It only means we just don't fit in

I know it's true Nothing's real
We are always compromised
I know it's true So many lies
We have to leave it all behind
We never thought someone is in the cookie monster
Before we've gotta scatter
Terminate this illusion

I get so frustrated seeing them rig the race
Seated back on the couch grumbling is not the way
We wanna keep it straight
We all need something to trust

Wipe the gloss off my face and you'll see how weird I am
No matter what they say
No need to smile when you cry
I hate it when they try to fake it

I know it's true Nothing's real
We are always compromised
I know it's true So many lies
We have to leave it all behind
We never thought someone is in the cookie monster
Before we've gotta scatter
Terminate this illusion

You said it's all a mess
Good to hear you anyway
We are now overwhelmed with good old stupid perfection
We know the TV sucks
We have much more to learn

I know it's true Nothing's real
We are always compromised
I know it's true So many lies
We have to leave it all behind
We never thought someone is in the cookie monster
Before we've gotta scatter
Terminate this illusion
