Lyrics

dangerous to know

are we mad enough? are we bad enough? are we dangerous to know?
have we had enough? are we Man enough? is our recklessness starting to show?

a choice of words appropriate for every situation
the ticking of your body
our promises to change our ways, our new year's resolutions
it's time for us to leave

when panic hits the streets and you can't keep the peace - on the floodplains the waters are rising
and the radio says, we abandoned our faith and we'll find that we've nothing left to turn to

and turning into nothing more than chemical reactions
the ticking of your body
though we believe we have a soul, how soullessly we're living
it's time for us to leave

yeah we're mad enough, yeah we're bad enough and we're dangerous
didn't you know?
though we've come so far, we don't know where we are and our emptiness starts to overflow
