What's the matter with the frown I'm wearing?
Don't you know that it's out of style
People singing 'bout loving and caring - welcome back to the age of lies
The human ability for cooperation is just another naturally-selected adaption
Kindness, religion, acts of altruism - it's all competition to me.
What's the matter with pessimism
It's a bit of a depressing stance
Maybe we could live in harmony if we just gave it half a chance
But groups of humans can only get on if they've got a scapegoat to pick on
Talking, drinking, positive thinking - it's still competition to me
Talk about the power of your innermost thoughts to influence the outside world
If we all believe hard enough we can improve the Universe
But hopes and dreams, pleasures and pains are only chemical reactions in your brain
Motivation, mediation, affirmation, relaxation's all competition to me
Everybody's talking 'bout a New Age
Funny, but it's still competition to me
