This is hell in paradise

We're all asleep or paralyzed

Why are we scared to verbalize

Our multicolor dreams?

When will we come to realize

We're all stoned or pacified

While the boogie men organize

Their multilevel schemes

Underqualified for love

Overqualified for life

Sticking our heads in slime

Thinking we're in our prime

Mesmerized by mythology

Hypnotized by ideology

Antagonized by reality

Vandalized by insanity

Desensitized by fraternity

Sanitized by policy

Jeopardized by lunacy

This is hell

Penalized by apathy

And living in the world of fantasy

Dancing on hot coal, waiting for the last call

It's Adam's ball, Eve's call

Wake up, shake up

Check out, work out, speak out

Reach out, it's time to, time to, time to

To, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to

This is hell in paradise

None of us wish to recognize

But do we want them to materialize

An endangered species?

Exorcise institution

Exercise intuition

Mobilize transition

With inspiration for life
