It's such a sad state of affairs, and I don't care A sad state of affairs It's such a sad state of affairs ? I don't care Look at things long enough until they go away But they're still there, aren't they? And each little insect doesn't make me angry And the dirt in the sink gets washed down the drain It's such a sad state of affairs, and I don't care A sad state of affairs This place could use a little repair ? I don't care The TV on the table says listen to me hum I sit on the sofa with my mind all numb And each little murderer doesn't make me angry And the dirt in the sink gets washed down the drain Follow the flow, wherever it goes Down the drain, and everything's clean Follow the blood, where is the blood? Washed away, away from the scene Use your time and memorize the lullaby of the day Process the data and throw it away And each little question doesn't get me thinking And the lies of my life still buzz around my brain
