Play Dead Lyrics by Shiner

The Egg

2001

Operated by a fictional computer
And navigating down the stream of possibilities
I could never?
Maybe
Isolated for my crimes and misdemeanors
Graduating to the piece of shit that I became
Accidental?
Maybe

I'll call in and play sick
The worst thing has happened
I'll call off all that keeps me down

Oxidized and holy, sanitized in chlorine
Gravitating to the curse of disability
Accidental?
Maybe

I'll call in and play sick
The worst thing has happened
I'll call off all that keeps me down

(Remember your name)
I'll call in and play sick
(Together we pray)
Thе worst thing has happened
(The wholе world is gay)
I'll call off
(The whole world is gay)
All that keeps me down


Accidental?!
Maybe

Operated by a fictional computer
Navigating down the stream of possibilities
I could never?
Maybe

Overrated by the under-educated
Graduating to the piece of shit that I became
Accidental?!
Maybe

I'll call in and play sick
The worst thing has happened
I'll call off all that keeps me down

(Remember your name)
I'll call in and play sick
(Together we pray)
The worst thing has happened
(The whole world is gay)
I'll call off
(The whole world is gay)
All that keeps me down

(Remember your name)
I'll call in and play sick
(Together we pray)
The worst thing has happened
(The whole world is gay)
I'll call off
(The whole world is gay)
All that keeps me down
