Conflict of Interest

(Perry)

---

Conflict of interest
Youre split right in two
Your convictions lie between
Your shadow and you
When I need help and Im heading your way
Both of your halves turn the same shade of grey
Conflict of interest...

Here I am alone on the street
With hundreds of people whose eyes never meet
The looks that I get are to say
The least strange
This social disorder-some things never change.

Chorus:
Take a number
Get in line
Hurry up and take your time
Dont make waves youll be just fine
Make sure your interests dont
Conflict with mine

To my jaded eyes
Every day is the same
When you scream outrages all I say is tame
You stumble blindly I dont really care.
Its my street, too, so stay
Outta my hair
Conflict of interest.
