lyrics

Our hearts are artificial as a drumming machine
But no one tends to notice if you keep up with the beat
Yeah, I'm trying, yeah, I'm trying, I tend to repeat
Just to get my pointless points across

No matter who's in office, their job is to lie
When neither of the parties can keep up with the times
We'll keep shooting up strangers whose skin is not as white
Until we have no more ground to stand

Unwritten rules, someone should write them down
Some things you do will never make a sound
But they'll keep you up until you have to come down
Your pointless points are pointing nowhere now

Our talks are superficial as an absent president
And no one wants a war unless you got some wealthy friends
But a promise is a promise unless it's just not meant
Yeah, anything to get your pointless points across

Unwritten rules, someone should write them down
Some things you do will never make a sound
But they'll keep you up until you have to come down
Your pointless points are pointing nowhere now

I just thought I would know what to do...didn't YOU?!

Unwritten rules, someone should write them down
Some things you do will never make a sound
But they'll keep you up until you have to come down
Your pointless points are pointing nowhere now
Yeah, your pointless points belong beneath the ground
Oh, your pointless points are pointing nowhere...

NOW
NOW
NOW
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
