Famous Aimless

Well, I heard they built an island in the Pacific

Size of Texas, made of plastic

Well, I heard they built a bomb that could mow us all down

That won't make a sound

Well, I-, well, I heard they built a monument to broken things

To money, power, fame, all it brings

Where people gather 'round in their diamond rings

Hoping things start spreading

While another day goes by

There's famous aimless and I don't know why

On television screens, in our dreams, in our magazines

Shine so bright like the stars in the sky

So tell me what it is I know

I must be missing something but I'm not so sure

So tell me all the days, all the ways, all the time it takes

All the real, all the fakes, where this show

Will go, oh-oh

Will go, oh-oh

Will go, oh-oh

Will go, oh-oh

Well, I heard they found a message written on the sun

Said love's the only way to end what we begun

They're keeping it a secret, got a race to run

More money to come

Well, I saw my baby born, saw my father die

I felt a cold wind blow, heard my mother cry

Stood in a hurricane, fell under the sky

Found a road, kept treading

While another day goes by

There's famous aimless and I don't know why

On television screens, in our dreams, in our magazines

Shine so bright like the stars in the sky

So tell me what it is I know

I must be missing something but I'm not so sure

So tell me all the days, all the ways, all the time it takes

All the real, all the fakes, where this show

Will go, oh-oh

Will go, oh-oh

Will go, oh-oh

Will go, oh-oh

If we keep running to escape

Going in circles, finding ways

To envy, conspire, covet, hate

Then we'll just be wasting our time

Falling behind, heeding no sign

Stuck neither asleep nor awake

Another day goes by
