timbuk 3 - kitchen fire lyrics
presidential elections are planned distractions
to divert attention from the action behind the scenes
like a game of chess when the house is a mess
or a petty money squabble when your marriage is in trouble
or a football game when there’s rioting in the streets
it’s just another movie, another song and dance
another poor sucker who never had a chance
it’s just another captain going down with his ship
just another jerk, taking pride in his work
i was a poor magician; i could never understand
you can’t make tears disappear through sleight of hand
>from the bottom of my heart — off the top of my head
words were pulled like rabbits from a hat but nothing was said
now my freedom’s bought and paid for — it lights up my living room
i got nothing more to prove; i’ve got no reason to move
and when i’m tired of the program — when it’s taken it’s toll
i can press a b-tton, change the channel by remote control
