lyrics

I can't take the heat, guess I got a troubled mind
History repeats and you know I got a troubled mind
And it won't let up, it's like a bad dream, they say I got a troubled mind
I’m shaking like a sad teen, gotta say I got a troubled mind

What the hell is wrong with everybody right now?
Everywhere I look, it's the same sound

Haunted by the melody, the melody
Haunted by the melody
Sometimes it gets ahead of me, ahead of my mind
It gets ahead of me, gets ahead of me
Haunted by the melody, the melody
Haunted by the melody

Riots in the street, guess I got a troubled mind
And if history repeats, well you know I got a troubled mind
And it won't let up, and it won't let up, and it won't let up

What the hell is wrong with everybody right now?
Everywhere I look, it's the same sound

Haunted by the melody, the melody
Haunted by the melody, melody
Sometimes it gets ahead of me, ahead of my mind
It gets ahead of me, gets ahead of me
Haunted by the melody, the melody
Haunted by the melody, melody
Sometimes it gets ahead of me, ahead of my mind
It gets ahead of me, gets ahead of me

Are we a force of nature,
Or just a sore in the mouth?
Are we the beautiful future?
I can't figure it out

Are we a force of nature,
Or just a sore in the mouth?
Are we the beautiful future?
I can't figure it out

What the hell is wrong with everybody right now?
Everywhere I look, it's the same sound

Haunted by the melody, the melody
Haunted by the melody, melody
Sometimes it gets ahead of me, ahead of my mind
It gets ahead of me, gets ahead of me
Haunted by the melody, the melody
Haunted by the melody, melody
Sometimes it gets ahead of me, ahead of my mind
It gets ahead of me, gets ahead of me
Haunted by the melody, the melody
Haunted by the melody, melody
Sometimes it gets ahead of me, ahead of my mind
It gets ahead of me, gets ahead of me

Are we the voice of reason,
Or just the faintest sound?
Are we the voice of reason?
I can't figure it out
