It's vaguely defined in order to appeal
to the maximum number of fans
Has parts designed to make you feel
That someone finally understands
Your rage and your fear and your sadness and your dreams
Your dependence on certain lotions and creams
Your most beautiful hopes and most terrible pain
The urge you have to jump at oncoming trains
Your reluctance to sing along now
And the reasons you’ll do it anyhow
Gimme a kiss, gimme something new now
Gimme something real no one can see through now
Look at the lady who’s removing her clothes
In front of twenty-some thousand fans
Is she being used by the CEOs?
Or does she simply understand
All the times that you’ve lied without knowing why
The desire we both share to be purified
There is no god but it’s fun to pretend
We’ll meet in paradise when the chorus ends
You’re reluctant to sing along now
Need a reason to do it anyhow
Yes it’s true they need to tranquilize you
But gimme a chance maybe I’ll surprise you
