"...i need some pencils... [various samples, seemingly from ]

Will you be using 'em for company [flipping through news broadcasts.]

Business?...one eight hundred nine

Nine two...for cash back, see store for details...

Meeting rebel leaders, he says he also plans to thank

Russian soldiers for their work in chechnya...work better..."



People around here are driving me crazy

Watching them run is making me lazy

Trying to buy a place in my head

Selling me lines i've already read

Speaking my name to try to confuse me

Say it again you're starting to lose me



That's alright i'm okay

It happens every single day

It's all the same

But i'm not blind



Nevermind

It's either you or me

And i can't see the difference

You or me

I find that i can't see the difference



When are these changes going to stick

Eating my words is making me sick

Some of the time

I'm practically sacred

Reading my mind

Is leaving you naked

You'd rather give it away than receive it

One of these days i'm gonna believe it.



That's alright i'm okay

It happens every single day

It's all the same

But i'm not blind



Nevermind

It's either you or me

And i can't see the difference

You or me

I find that i can't see the difference



You or me

And i can't see the difference

You or me

I find that i can't see the difference



You or me

That's alright i'm okay

It happens every single day

And i can't see the difference

It's all the same

But i'm not blind

Nevermind

It's either

You or me

That's alright i'm okay

It happens every single day

I find that i can't see the difference

It's all the same

But i'm not blind



"...my position was that if anybody [right-channel samples from ???]

Who's a christian would go there,

They're not only aligning themselves to the demagogue,

They're aligning themselves to the antichrist! which

By the way, this man is an antichrist..."

"did you see the video?"

"i didn't need to see the video to call the guy an antichrist..."



"...if you can truly appreciate..." [left-channel samples from ???]



"...sins, so that we'll go to heaven [center-channel sample from ???]

Anyway. he came to save his people

From their sins."
