Lyrics:
What's wrong?Nothing, nothingAn unwelcome reception to the million dollar questionA reflex reactionRight back at youIt's your face, it's that same blank expressionYou can blame it on the weatherOr blame it on tension butThere's no rest from this paralysisStrategyIt's all about strategyNot what you're telling meWhat you're telling meYou eat, you sleep and you breatheAnd you tick off your list of personal needsAt night for protection you hide under a sheetAnd we try to avoid confrontationBut everything we do just gets lost in the translationAnd you're not helping yourself anyStrategyIt's all about strategyNot what you're telling meWhat you're telling meI've found that descriptions are uselessNothing but the combination of words and numbered piecesJust assume that there is good reason for everythingSo, what's wrong?It's nothing againNothing's what you've got when everything leaves you thoughtThat asking would get you somewhereSome fool you wereStrategyIt's all about strategyNot what you're telling meWhat you're telling meMemoryYou say it's my memoryYou say that my memory's badWell i remembered thatDidn't i?
