From Listening
You keep fallin and you never reach the bottom of it
You can’t believe that you listened to the words of the jerk
Who exploded in a vicious explanation
You’re so tired but you never get to stop
If you could just grab hold of something you could get to the top
In a meaningless world it’s a joyless drop
And it’s a pointless education
You’ll leave it ’til the rage subsides
Another moment passes by
You’ll reinvent the stage this time
And leave it ’til the rage subsides
Top minds are workin’ on the way out of this
Top brass are presentin’ their feet to kiss
Toss aside your modest expectation that a people
Would keep a promise
No wonder you were cryin on the way down the pit
You were born on the edge and pushed off of it
Near-dead souls scream all the way down from the walls
And they’re only honest
It’s gone wrong and you end up in a bottomless pit
You keep fallin and you never reach the bottom of it
You can’t believe that you listened to the words of the jerk
Who exploded in a vicious explanation
You’re so tired but you never get to stop
If you could just grab hold of something you could get to the top
In a meaningless world it’s a joyless drop
And it’s a pointless education
It’s a pointless education
(You’ll leave it ’til the rage subsides)
It’s a pointless education
It’s a pointless education
(You’ll leave it ’til the rage subsides)
It’s a pointless education
It’s a pointless education
(You’ll leave it ’til the rage subsides)
It’s a pointless education
It’s a pointless education
(You’ll leave it ’til the rage subsides)
It’s a pointless education
It’s a pointless education
(You’ll leave it ’til the rage subsides)

(instrumental break)
(same chords as first verse)
Top minds are workin' on the way out of this
Top brass are presentin' their feet to kiss
Toss aside your modest expectation that a people
Would keep a promise
No wonder you were cryin on the way down the pit
You were born on the edge and pushed off of it
Near-dead souls scream all the way down from the walls
And they're only honest
(same chords again, but over an A ostinato)
It's gone wrong and you end up in a bottomless pit
You keep fallin and you never reach the bottom of it
You can't believe that you listened to the words of the jerk
Who exploded in a vicious explanation
You're so tired but you never get to stop
If you could just grab hold of something you could get to the top
In a meaningless world it's a joyless drop
And it's a pointless education
