[Verse 1]
I need a helmet to protect my head
I need earphones to hear what gets said
I need a miracle to keep this little thread from snapping

[Verse 2]
I know a lot about alienated man
But we've all heard as much about that as we can stand
It's just what happens when you let the time span catch you napping

[Verse 3]
Two forward and one back
Blind fingers groping for the right track
What's to do when a stab and a pat on the back look like the same thing?

[Chorus]
Civilization and its discontents
When all's been said and all the money spent
Trying to beat the system of the world's events
Gets you nowhere

[Verse 4]
Tired faces with the bus stop blues
Man on a bench with a blanket of news
The young Jamaican joking with the old Jew about women
