In Flames - Vacuum Lyrics

The yesterday we loved.
Speak of tomorrow.
The burden of man is that time never takes a pause
We live from monday to sunday
But we forget what it means
Then a ghost comes to visit
And we tell stories from tabloids.
Call all your friends,
Watch fake photographs
From a made up vacation.
Speaking in tongues about ancient artifacts.

We steal from beggars
And ask for understanding
Lie rape steal and murder
To make tonights headlines

Trust the system.
Make your contribution.
Smile, applaud, love, hail.
The weaker you get, the stronger they become.

Listen in silence.
Hear her voice.
How far are we ready to take this?

Listen in silence.
Hear her voice.
Before it all crumbles.

Lie, rape, steal and murder
Smile, applaud, love, hail.

Gather in front of the TV.
Exploding sympathy.
The weatherman our trust,
Our punctual company

We steal from beggars
And ask for understanding
Lie rape steal and murder
To make tonights headlines

Trust the system.
Make your contribution.
Smile, applaud, love, hail.
The weaker you get, the stronger they become.

Listen in silence.
Hear her voice.
How far are we ready to take this?

Listen in silence.
Hear her voice.
Before it all crumbles.
