Knee-jerk...
What friendly force is watching over me?
What spirit helps maintain my sanity?
Conventionality controls our every move…
Random reaction, chance interaction
Don’t ask… you don’t want to know…
Self-preservation, recrimination
What reigns… chaos or control?
Why don’t I ram the car right next to me?
‘One millisecond changed my destiny’
One tiny action can unleash a tidal wave…
If I could break these bonds that shackle me
What then would I become, if I were free?
Notoriety’s an end in itself
For those reluctant to conform
A form of fame much more rewarding than wealth
Some timeless respite from the norm?
Cast in stone, are the names of those
Who gave in to a knee-jerk whim
Acts obscene, on your TV screen
Guarantee immortality?
What makes me so different from the rest?
How is it I can keep my cool?
If one last straw can break the very best
Then what’s to say that I won’t, too?
Cast in stone, are the names of those
Who gave in to a knee-jerk whim
Acts obscene, on your TV screen
Immortality… ?
In Oklahoma or in Littleton
In Hungerford or in Dunblane
A fleeting second and the world will know
Those bereaved and those insane
What breaks a man remains a mystery
What makes him change the course of history?
Just hope that I’ll keep on remaining unaware…
Random reaction…
Don’t ask… you’ll never really want to know…
