Don't be afraid because there is no escape
And it won't be long now, won't be long now
They got you thinking what you want to believe
Just to fall with no better way

When you wear the right clothes and sing the right songs
You're tuning in and plugging out
When you drive the right car and you digging the right crowd
Tune in and plug it out

Came looking here for answers
And all you found was

Questions for forgiveness
We're giving ourselves away
Human life replacement
Love is gone to waste
Questions for forgiveness
We're giving ourselves away
Human life replacement
Love is gone to waste but now

We're finding out
That we know better
No number
Will ever replace me
We're finding out
That we know better
No number
Will ever replace

I said, first comes the school then comes the job
Wife and two kids and a family car
We're all falling in line and waiting to die
For what?
A plaque on the wall and another numeral
On a corporate statistic of a government chart
You know I don't need no read-out for the beat of my heart
You might as well get a barcode tattooed on your arm 'cause
Convenience has strangled art in every form, yeah

Came looking here for answers
And all you found was

Questions for forgiveness
We're giving ourselves away
Human life replacement
Love is gone to waste
Questions for forgiveness
We're giving ourselves away
Human life replacement
Love is gone to waste but now

We're finding out
That we know better
No number
Will ever replace me
We're finding out
That we know better
No number
Will ever replace me

Came looking here for answers
And all you found was questions
Came looking here for answers
And all you found was

Questions for forgiveness
We're giving ourselves away
Human life replacement
Love is gone to waste
Questions for forgiveness
We're giving ourselves away
Human life replacement
Love is gone to waste but now

We're finding out
That we know better
No number
Will ever replace me
We're finding out
That we know better
No number
Will ever replace me

    The older version of this song is awesome...it's kind of cleaned up with the guitars and stuff if you know what I mean
