House of Cards - Adrian Belew

People like us have our eyes on the stars
And we keep informed via TV Guide
And we entertain in a house of cards
But the trouble remains
In our sleeping hearts

Wake up! Get out,
Get out of this house of cards
Why are we sleeping?

Wake up! Get out,
Get out of this house of cards
Why are we dreaming?

Why are we blinded,
Always the little guys?
Why do we find ourselves
Always compromised?
