    I saw the video for "The Saddest Song" and wanted to download the song but I must've got a different version because the lyrics don't match the words I hear on TV. The lyrics on my version are like this:

    What's wrong with everyone? There's a panic in their eyes
    Like others getting close are aliens, in disguise
    They smell conspiracy on the lips of dearest friends
    Reminds me of a time long ago, They think it's the end

    Of what we all created, used to love but now we hate it
    Life is as simple as the mind it lives in
    The truth is a waste of time, when we're conditioned to understand
    Lies are the right was as we watch the blind leading the blind

    Everything that we see is another's suffering
    Learn to enjoy the message the TV is delivering
    You're safe being the glass like being at the zoo
    The face of guilty thoughts turns around and looks just like you

    Don't want be another, victim but you watch them suffer
    Organized, de-sensitized and trained
    To wake up at 6 AM, go to work come home and in bed by ten
    When the feeling is safe and warm
    Horrified by any change, living by consensus destroys us
    Paints pretty pictures at the same time will do us more harm


    That doesn't sound right. Are there two versions lurking around?! Help would be appreciated. I've never been so desperate to hear a song. :)

    EDIT: Don't worry about it. I've answered my own question. The acoustic version is very different to the original one apparently. Let
    s just make this a discussion thread for the new video. :p

    I own the album and the acoustic version and the album version are the same exact thing.

    One's just acoustic.

    I don't get it. :mellow:

    The non-acoustic one starts like this:

    What's wrong with everyone?
    There's a panic in their eyes
    Like others getting close are aliens, in disguise

    And the acoustic one starts like this:

    Only two more days, until your birthday
    Yesterday was mine

    The lyrics are different! :eek:

    Radical Dreamer: I just said I own the album. I know what I'm talking about. Both versions have the same exact lyrics, but one is acoustic.

    I know. Some sites are giving out the wrong lyrics.
