Up in the sterilized room
Where they let you be lazy
Know-ing your attitudes are wrong
And you gotta change, and it’s not easy
Drag-ons shining with all values known
Daz-zling you, keeping you from your own
Where is the lion in you to de-fy him
When you’re this weak and this spacey?
So what are you gonna do about it
You can’t live life and you can’t leave it
Ad-vice and religion you can’t take it
You can’t seem to believe it
The pea-cock is afraid to pa-rade
You’re un-der the thumb of a maid
You real-ly can’t give love in this con-di-tion
Still you know how you need it
Then open and close you
Then they talk like they know you
They don’t know you
They’re friends and they’re foes too, trouble child,
Brea-king like the waves at Malibu

So why does it come as such a shock
To know you really have no one?
On-ly a river of changing fa-ces
Looking for an ocean
They tric-kle through your leaky plans
Another dream over the dam
And you’re ly-ing in some room
Feeling like your right to be hu-man
Is going over too
But some are gonna knock you
And some’ll try and clock you
You know it’s really hard
To talk sense to you, trouble child
Breaking like the waves at Malibu
