Laplace’s Angel (Hurt People? Hurt People!)

[Verse 1] Have you ever died in a nightmare? Woke up surprised you hadn’t earned your fate? Have you ever felt like Atlas, threw your back out on the axis And collapsed and threw the planet away? Everyone’s just blood in an ice tray A vampire picking flowers out in the sun Run your diagnostic tests, its posited nobody dies agnostic But we still dial 9-1-1 Now we’re singing [Chorus 1] Ooh, could you take a look at me? (It’s the norm for animals, it’s the norm for chemicals) Am I bad, am I bad, am I bad, am I really that bad? (It’s the norm for particles, eye for eye for tooth) Ooh, whatever you think of me (It’s the norm for chemicals, it’s the norm for particles) If you were in my shoes, you’d walk the same damn miles I do (Yes, it’s only natural) [Verse 2] We’re only tuning to the tone of the bell curve now Ask not for whom it tolls But with my head up in the clouds, I can see so much ground And from up here you look like ants in a row It doesn’t take a killer to murder It only takes the reason to kill We’ve all got evidence of innocence, it’s "everything’s coincidence" The difference twixt fate and free will Is whether you’re singing [Chorus 1] Ooh, could you take a look at me? (It’s the norm for animals, it’s the norm for chemicals) Am I bad, am I bad, am I bad, am I really that bad? (It’s the norm for particles, I for I for tooth) Ooh, whatever you think of me (It’s the norm for chemicals, it’s the norm for particles) If you were in my shoes, you’d walk the same damn miles I do (Yes, it’s only natural) Somebody help, woah! [Bridge] So if you wash your hands of where you’ve been until you flood the second floor Neatly fold your skeletons but still can’t shut the closet door The only ones in need of love are those who don’t receive enough So evil ones should get a little more [Chorus 2] You, could you take a look at me? (You could break an angel’s fall, and ignore the Devil’s call) Am I bad, am I bad, am I bad, am I really that bad? (Still forsaken shoulders fall silent now) Now we're singing Ooh, whatever you think of me (It’s no more than cultural, you and me inseparable.) If the shoe fits would you walk that mile? You could put it on the other foot, it’s the same size (It’s a small hell after all.) [Chorus 3] You, could you take a look at me? (Man no more than animal is made of moral chemicals) Am I bad, am I bad, am I bad, am I really that bad? (Any form mechanical, thank you God) Ooh, whatever you think of me (From the hordes of cannibals, to psych wards of hospitals) If you were in my shoes, you’d see I wear the same size as you (It’s a small world after all)
