Desensitized Lyrics
Clenching my teeth tight
My head is like a sponge
Give it to me free
I wanna get ripped off
And drown in the airwaves
Another fatal wreck
On the information highway
So go ahead and kill yourselves
It all amuses me
For I'll be damned to spend my life in hell
Another wise ingrate
Bring me blood and pain
Of a stranger's fate
Give it all away
I'm desensitized
I wanna watch the bomb
Blow the masses high
I wanna get ripped off
And drown in the airwaves
Another fatal wreck
On the information highway
So go ahead and kill yourselves
It all amuses me
For I'll be damned to spend my life in hell
Another wise ingrate
Bring me blood and pain
Of a stranger's fate
Give it all away
I wanna get ripped off
And drown in the airwaves
Another fatal wreck
On the information highway
So go ahead and kill yourselves
It all amuses me
For I'll be damned to spend my life in hell
Another wise ingrate
My head is like a sponge
Give it to me free
I wanna get ripped off
Another fatal wreck
On the information highway
It all amuses me
For I'll be damned to spend my life in hell
Another wise ingrate
Of a stranger's fate
Give it all away
I wanna watch the bomb
Blow the masses high
And drown in the airwaves
Another fatal wreck
On the information highway
It all amuses me
For I'll be damned to spend my life in hell
Another wise ingrate
Of a stranger's fate
Give it all away
And drown in the airwaves
Another fatal wreck
On the information highway
It all amuses me
For I'll be damned to spend my life in hell
Another wise ingrate

Unfortunally, I think we all have been desensitized in some way with all of the media around. Billie Joe basically sums it up here.
billie joe is always dead on the mark in his lyrics. in this instance, he writes about society's jaded feelings toward the world around us, thanks to tv, movies, music, and so on. i love this song's halted, out of control chords. crazy :)
This song is about media, especially the internet and how everything and anything is so widely and easily available for guilty pleasures. We liked to be shocked, and it keeps getting more extreme and lines keep getting crossed in the name of entertainment. I wonder where this will lead us?
Hmm.. I really like this song. It's kinda tuney and it's just great to listen to..I guess. Wow, I'm suprised no one has posted any comments yet but I'm the first one to do so.. wooo, go me!! does the victory dance and walks away quietly
lol i love this song.
Yeah i agree...stuff that would have scared the crap outta someone a century ago is pretty mild now a days...oh well, what're ya gonna do? Viva Greenday....oh yeah, and this song's about his pet iguana, Earl
This song was supposed to be on Nimrod if you look on the booklet in says Mike Drint plays the baseball bat i.e the bginning of the song. They changed there minds and put the B-side to brain stew on instead Good Riddance (The time of your life)
i like this song its a great song
I wondered what was going on at the start of the song. Can you believe I didn't notice Mike playing Baseball Bat in the Nimrod sleeve? I usually memorise the linear notes!
Luv, Louise xxx
i was thinking in every type of way that this song states before I heard...I thought it was great to hear it out of Billie...and this is also my fav. song on the shenanigans album
