LYRICS
Hate to break the news
Hate to pick n’ choose
Hate to break the knews
You didn’t earn the blues

Hate to break the news
Hate to pick n’ choose
Hate to break the knews
You don’t deserve the blues

All the time you try
Wasted moments ’till we die
Personal pie-in-the-sky
Question your existence — why?

Hate to break the news
Hate to pick n’ choose
Hate to break the knews
You didn’t earn the blues

Without selfishness
Devoid of ignorance
Never pretentious
No arrogance

Chorus

LYRICS
There’s a monkey in the circus
And he’s dressed like us
There’s a monkey in the circus
And he walks like us
There’s a monkey in the circus
Reminds us of us
(a little too much like us)

There’s a lion in the zoo
Thinks he’s king of us, too
There’s a lion in the zoo
But he’s caged like us, too
There’s a lion in the zoo
Are we lying to ourselves, too?

There’s a man in our home
So we’re not alone
There’s a man in our home
Saying it ain’t ours to own
There’s a man in our home
Turns out I’m his clone
There’s a man in our home
Guess I’m not alone

LYRICS
Left me sitting here in the dark
Maybe it’s time for a little spark
Inconsiderate

Sorry doesn’t make-up for a sin
Especially when you do it again and again
Inconsiderate

Then you say you forgot to pay
When you get a chance, you’ll send it my way
Then when you pray you forget to say
“Lord, how may I serve you?”
Consider it
Inconsiderate

LYRICS
From the first time I laid mind on you
I knew the epiphany was true
Then, it was plain and simple as to what to do

What to do
Keep my mind on you

One with you
Won with you

The third eye cast out a glance
On the essence of romance
Starting in essence an adrenaline dance
Heart struck with cupid’s lance
