We're the news

We’re the news

your brand and my brand
got into a fight

my brand is apologizing
your brand is sensitive to perceptions of hostility

my brand is about creating understanding
my brand is making love to your brand

your brand is staring out the window
your brand has a tremendous marketing budget

my brand has close to zero
our brands fight for market share

they're vulnerable to takeovers
your brand pretends not to care

but is susceptible to sudden flowers

He attached himself to my face

He attached himself to my face
It must have been something I said

His lips took out my breath
His hands went behind my chest

There in the middle of the street
While people were passing

Blood drained from my head
My feet did nothing

His tongue was some type of limb
Exploring my teeth

Don't know what it was looking for
The police did nothing

I felt his shortness of breath
He was having some kind of fit

I'd feel guilty if he turned out dead
But in a way he'd deserve it

Confusion, baby

confusion is a word you don't hear much of anymore
everyone's become certain of what they know

fatalism drives harder than science
there’s security in a flood

of apocalyptic images or definitions
of happiness that lean towards perfect

you confuse me with certainties
that I can barely follow

I can only observe outcomes
as a patient customer reaching towards you

with a desire that seems certain
a curious desire to explore the unknown
