Sweet Diversion

Do you ever get the feeling the world's too damn small? You can get to the other side of it in no time at all You can hang with the Dalai Lama And hear his views Around here every mother's son's got some I can't use Do you ever get the feeling you've seen it all? You've been drinking it in for so long You can no longer call your liver small Scarification is in Let's get a tattoo Or maybe we could get our noses pierced I will if you do I need a sweet diversion Give me a sweet diversion Turn on the TV, christ! they're still showing that? By now everyone in Hollywood must think we're all flat Turn on the radio And hear some of that corporate drool It's the best damn programming those computers know how to do Pardon me, I didn't mean to monkey with the works I know there's a delicate balance And we don't want no one to get hurt * The third world is growing faster And the second world is slow And here in the first world we wait on the new fall shows I need a sweet diversion Give me a sweet diversion Won't you be my diversion? My sweet little Diversion Diversion * double negative intended
