Like an average American   Watching violence on TV   My life's just a rerun   Don't turn the channel on me      With memories of consciousness   I wish to be free   I'd change the channels first   But the channels changed on me      With all I know   And with all I've seen   I'm so used to what you won't believe   My way out is not so far away   How bad do you want to turn away from me?   Have I failed you?      My mind is a vacuum   Waiting for ideas   My picture's yet fading   The timer's set for sleep      With all I know   And with all I've seen   I'm so used to what you won't believe   My way out is not so far away   How bad do you want to turn away from me?   Have I failed you?         Take a closer look   And you will find what I am hurting for   Try and understand   And you'll retrieve what you had lost before      Someday you'll know   If I could break down these walls      Walls!      With all I know   And with all I've seen   I'm so used to what you won't believe   My way out is not so far away   How bad do you want to turn away from me?   Have I failed you?
