Desperate Living

Turn away from what feels real Turn the lights off Even when we see we don't believe And take the country for a ride An economic suicide Making decisions and the people shout They burn your cities with their cameras out And keep a check on your desires They will lead you to the fire Send your children to a green hat house They get beaten till the lights go out And it's all desperate living And we are all desperate living We burned this house together Watch it all burn away, it's okay Too late to operate Our necks will dislocate Maybe this noose is our fate And there's London calling, funding's stalling And America's bawling, country's falling A political idiocracy There's no such thing as a democracy And all the people on a weekend bender Are concerned with not assuming gender And when your kids start crawling, apps installing And calamity's falling, must get out And it's all desperate living And we are all desperate living And it's all desperate living And we are all desperate living No need to talk about it No way we get out of it No chance in hell before ya It's okay to just ignore it Just spend your life in hiding The system won't come to get ya Just waste your life away and then you'll realize it's just a game
