Lyrics
2 + 2 = 5
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Are you such a dreamer
To put the world to rights?
I stay home forever
Where two and two always makes up five
I lay down the tracks
Sandbag and hide
January has april's showers
And two and two always makes up five
Its the devil's way now
There is no way out
You can scream it, you can shout
It is too late now
Because
You have not been paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
You have not been paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
You have not been paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
You have not been paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
Paying attention
I try to sing along
But the music is all wrong
'Cause I'm not
'Cause I'm not
I swat 'em like flies but like flies the bugs keep coming back, not
But I'm not
All hail to the thief
All hail to the thief
But I'm not
But I'm not
But I'm not
But I'm not
Don't question my authority or put me in the box
'Cause I'm not
'Cause I'm not
Oh go and tell the king that the sky is falling in
When it's not
But it's not
But it's not
Maybe not
Maybe not
