Generate meaning
1
It all began with the bright light
2
The bright light and the noise
3
The chaos of the senses and the scream of desire
4
Touching and being touched
5
A million loose ends to tie up
6
Ticking of the clock and the cradle rock
7
The colours stand still
8
And then they move around
9
Comin' in and out of focus upside down
10
Empty winter trees
11
How space feels
12
Love of the soft ... the flowers and the sky
13
One fine day
14
The chaos subsides
15
Bleeds into awareness
16
And a lifetime of surprise
17
The beauty of your mothers eyes
18
The pain when you fall
19
You drink it in and marvel at it all
20
But you never really figure it out
21
You get used to it
22
The babble of the family
23
And the dumb TV
24
Roar of the traffic and the thunder of jets
25
Chemicals in the water
26
Drugs in the food
27
The heat of the kitchen and the beat of the system
28
The attitude of authority
29
The laws and the rules
30
Hit me square in the face, first morning at school
31
The heroes and the zeroes
32
The first love of my life
33
When to kiss and to kick and to keep your head down
34
When they're choosing the sides
35
I was never any good at it
36
I was terrified most of the time
37
I never got over it
38
I got used to it
39
Alone in the city at seventeen
40
With the hollow and the lonely
41
The drowning and the drowned
42
I was made to feel worthless
43
The wretched and the mean
44
Beat me up like a weapon I can't run away from or find a way round
45
Holdin' on, holdin' on
46
The greed and the missiles
47
Exploding somewhere every day
48
Hideous dark secrets under the sea and in holes in the ground
49
The cold war's gone
50
But those bastards'll find us another one
51
They're here to protect you, don't you know?
52
So get used to it
53
Get used to it!
54
The clash of religions
55
And the loaded prayers
56
Information
57
The face of starvation and the state of the nation
58
The sense that it's useless
59
And the fear to try
60
Not believing the leaders, the media that feed us
61
Living with the big lie
62
You get used to it
63
Get used to it!
64
It's okay, I got used to it
