And I will hold you hostage, make you part of my conspiracy You will be witness to carnage, you know there's no you without me I'm gonna shake you, until it wakes you From your waking dream, show you effecting scenes Of life beyond your front door I will exploit you, and conscript you For my narrative scheme, show you distressing scenes I'm gonna drag you from your bed onto your floor By no means necessary I'm gonna dig up what you buried By no means necessary There you go again, finding brilliant ways to make things harder Are we smarter alone, or in this endless Stockholm syndrome Here's what is known, we're gonna break this to a mirror I'm gonna shake you, wake you By no means necessary Some sweet day, we will be playing bridge on the sidewalk With Arthur, Jean and Lou We will be playing bridge on the sidewalk With Barbara, Jean and Sue And if you ever start to care for, you know there's no one to blame but you And I will hold you hostage, make you part of my conspiracy You will be witness to carnage, you know there's no you without me
