Conflict of Interest

(Joe Perry)

Conflict of interest

You're Split right in two

Your convictions lie between

Your shadow and you

When I need help and

I'm 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

Don't make waves you'll be just fine

Make sure your interests don't 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 don't really care.

It's my street, too, so stay

Outta my hair

Conflict of

Interest.
