I was hanging upside-down from the overpass
Waiting to discover something about the world
I couldn't get with the program
And I couldn't listen to them
It was like trying to think in reverse

And I don't wanna slide into apathy
And I don't wanna die in captivity
But these monsters
Follow me around
Hunting me down
Try to wipe me out
Wipe me out...
Wipe me out...
Wipe me out...

Yeah I was hiding away underwater
Waiting for distance and buying some time
Trying to be two hundred thousand years younger
So I could excuse myself from human kind
Coz I don't wanna be a container
Or a bastard with a ten page dislaimer
But these monsters
Spin me around
Get me down!
Just try to shut me out
Shut me out...
Shut me out...
Shut me out...

Hold it in your hand
Hold it in your hand
Hold it in your hand...
Believe it me, believe in it, believe...

(shut me out) repeats thruout verse
I was hiding away underwater
Waiting for distance, waiting for time.
And I don't wanna slide into apathy, and I don't
And I don't wanna live in captivity

Ohh ohh ohh, Ohh Ohh Ohhhh (shut me out)
