No Sense - The Cat Empire

Some days I wake

And I do look outside

And don’t know what I see

And think the dreams from where I’ve come

Might be reality

I stand and I do walk

And I do look

But I fall short of making sense

And on days like this I…

On days like this, I’m looking at billboards and machines

And commercials on the screens

When the pictures in the trains

Playing games inside the brains of all the people

Who oblige like ants

To advertising syndicates

I look at shit like this

And I cannot make no sense of it

Thinking about thinking about thinking about

All the streets that never end

Filled with cars and trucks and parking lots

And fumes that fill my head

And then my mind begins to hurt

It beats inside of me

I look and I do wonder

But I cannot make no sense of it

It drives me mad hearing all the mobiles that do ring

Seeing kids with phones like dogs with bones

Destruction these things bring

And then I’m sure man must be mad to worship tools like this

I think of better things

And I cannot make no sense of it

I was born in a land where natives they were shamed

And today the government’s afraid to recognise the blame

And deal with reconciliation that does stink

I think of better things

And I cannot make no sense of it

I think of better things…
