So I've got a phobia of shadows
I get outraged at everything
And hardly anything's my fault
The problem's everybody else
And while my wisdom reasons
A kid dies in the Congo mines
On my iPhone I talk about the world, yeah
We're everybody and nobody at the same time
We dream the world, we tear it apart at the same time
We're all chasing instant happiness
We take what we're given and learn the rest
We're made of prayers and our childhood wishes
We're made of yesterday, all prisoners of time
So I'm scared of the void
Say thanks or I'll delete you from my list
I can love you unconditionally, just admit I exist
We're everybody and nobody at the same time
We dream the world, we tear it apart at the same time
We're all chasing instant happiness
We take what we're given and learn the rest
We're made of prayers and our childhood wishes
We're made of yesterday, all prisoners of time
We've all got a dad who's not really there
Or a mom who doesn't get us
We've all had a love that wasn't really it
We've all stood up one day, all hope in hand
We're all on our knees under the same kings
We're looking for the same god we can't find
We're everybody and nobody at the same time
We dream the world, we tear it apart at the same time
We're all chasing instant happiness
We take what we're given and learn the rest
We're made of prayers and our childhood wishes
We're made of yesterday, all prisoners of time
