Fuel : Lyrics to 'Disengaged'
These are the full lyrics to the song "Disengaged" by Fuel. The song is taken
from the album "Fuel". One of my favourite records, and definitively one with
the best lyrics.
(This is Fuel, the PUNK band (or emocore, if you prefer), which
existed and the beginning of the 90ies. This is NOT the crappy alternative
band, which is currently (end of the 90ies) starting to hit the charts.
So all the people, who keep mailing me for lyrics of songs like
"shimmer" and "bittersweet" should better go to one of the zillion
Fuel sites like this
instead of bothering me. Btw., major labels suck!)
Disengaged
"I'd like to help but I've got to worry about myself"
Taking the easy way out again!
"It's not my fault. The problem belongs to someone else."
Taking the easy way out again!
"I've played my part. It's someone else's turn."
Taking the easy way out again!
"Don't show me the truth. It only makes my eyes burn."
Taking the easy way out again!
When conflict is avoided, principles fall void.
We only serve to justify ourselves
"I've got to fight. Macho stance I must defend."
Taking the easy way out again!
"Can't let them know I'm scared. I've got to pretend."
Taking the easy way out again!
"Can't speak out my ignorance will show."
Taking the easy way out again!
"I can't be hurt by what I don't know."
Taking the easy way out again!
When conflict is avoided, principles fall void.
We only serve to justify ourselves
When we accept others pain, to uncontrolled reason
we throw our blame
We only serve to justify ourselves
Disengaged with a cynical pride the way that we were taught
Quite satisfied, fully denied, we sit back and watch
And I don't want to live my life like that
I don't want to live a life like that.
