Everybody's Numb Lyrics - Thea Gilmore

I'm pleased to meet you boys, you know it's been a while 

Since I have had to fake delight just to raise a smile 

You're squeezing hands and squeezing hits as good as anyone 

And everybody's numb 

Yeah, everybody's numb 

And the sun's been slowly setting on your golden age 

And you'll recheck the figures but you'll skip the page 

Where the one thing that won't fit into your final sum 

Is everybody's numb 

Yeah, everybody's numb 

And all the noise you're making sounds just like the rest 

Salute the founders of the united states of emptiness 

You can roll your eyes and write me off as paranoid 

Tell me under Gucci suits lie twisted girls and tortured boys 

But nothing gets my back up quite like martyrdom 

When everybody's numb 

And all the noise you're making sounds just like the rest 

Salute the founders of the united states of emptiness 

So send your armies out into the real world 

Reciting lines from nursery rhymes, singing like a jailbird 

'Cause every Caesar needs a tranquilizer gun 

Then everybody's numb 

Yeah, every Ghandi needs his own Napoleon 

Then everybody's numb 

Yeah, everybody's numb 

Sure, everybody's numb 

Yeah, everybody's numb
