Jaguar Stevens - Confident Hypocrite Lyrics

Science fiction soap opera
I think I've had enough
I'd rather be vagrant
An insect with a cup

Anonymous comedian
Critiques from the stage
While a selfish politician
Tries to incite rage

I am the freedom that you've always had
The first step on the moon
A strung-out actor getting paid
To sit in a room
I'm an open book of secrets
So take me off the shelf
I'll make you believe you could be
Somebody else

The extreme non-extremist
A temporary tattoo
A ripple in the water
An open cage at the zoo

The confident hypocrite
Lied to himself and he
Tried to contain his lies
To everybody else

We've got nuclear bombs
We're going to heat it up
Automatic weapons gonna
Sweep us up

I'm a crazy passion here
Trying to stoke it up
Place your ears on the sound
Take the beat to the ground
