"You are lost and disillusioned", what an awful thing to say
I know this show doesn't matter, it means nothing to me
I thought I might help them understand, but what an ugly thing to see
"I am not an animal", subtitled under the screen
Chorus
Bm D G Bm D G A
When I tried to tell my story, they cut me off to take a break
I sat silent, 5 commercials, I had nothing left to say
The talk-show host was index-carded, all organised and blank
The other guests were scared and hardened, what a sad parade
A G A B C# D
What a sad parade
Chorus
