Everybody's Numb Lyrics

I’m pleased to meet you boys, you know it’s been a while
Since I have had to fake delight just to raise a smile
You’re squeezing hands and squeezing hits as good as anyone
And everybody’s numb
Yeah, everybody’s numb

And the sun’s been slowly setting on your golden age
And you’ll recheck the figures but you’ll skip the page
Where the one thing that won’t fit into your final sum
Is everybody’s numb
Yeah, everybody’s numb

And all the noise you’re making sounds just like the rest
Salute the founders of the united states of emptiness

You can roll your eyes and write me off as paranoid Tell me under Gucci suits lie twisted girls and tortured boys
But nothing gets my back up quite like martyrdom
When everybody’s numb

And all the noise you’re making sounds just like the rest
Salute the founders of the united states of emptiness

So send your armies out into the real world
Reciting lines from nursery rhymes, singing like a jailbird
Cos every Caesar needs a tranquiliser gun
Then everybody’s numb
Yeah, every Ghandi needs his own Napoleon
Then everybody’s numb
Yeah, everybody’s numb
Sure, everybody’s numb
Yeah, everybody’s numb
