(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..
