Can’t you just give me a break and let me waste I want the simple days without money I know it’s such a phase to feel this way But I want simple days without money We’re all up in arms, problems with our trade And realizing that they’re all simple man made But realizing that there are own faults won’t make them go away We’re all dying to get paid And you may ask yourself if you no longer care And you may tell yourself you never were quite there But sometimes I wonder what’s been going on inside your head While you’re sleeping in your bed Can’t you just give me a break and let me waste I want the simple days without money I know it’s such a phase to feel this way But I want simple days without money I’ll pawn it off as one more daydream that you’ve seen And note the fact you always say what you don’t mean But your innocence won’t keep you warm or your thoughts pristine

Hey you know Yer living down below In the sidewalk cracks you stay Up above The drones all duck and shove Tryin' to add time to their day I'll go back to where I started from To the green house where I've grown All the way back where I started from Alone Take your time Don't let it beat you blind No one knows it like you do Free your mind And watch it all unwind Spinnin' down the avenue I'll go back to where I started from To the green house where I've grown All the way back where I started from Alone I'll go all the way back where I started from I'll burn the cardboard cutout that I have become I won't know the meaning of a loaded word May all my mutterings be heard In the green house where I started from All the way back at my home Oh, the green house where I started from Alone

I eased into a place I've never been Searching for someone who was a friend Nameless faces eye me up and down No one I've seen is friendly in this town Shelter me from unforgiving light Give me walls to hide behind at night I came down here for you and you alone Get me back to a place all of my own It's you that I came for, you that I want You that I wait for when we're apart It's you that I aim for By clattered walls and catcalls, I couldn't deny you But five minutes to wait is too long for me to stay

Did those hands that guide you ever think they’d lead you away And those feet that walk you, you ever think they’d lead you astray OOOOOhhhohohohhhhh Did you develop the sense of a grifter just to get your electric bills paid You ever step on the hands of another just to get the chance to be made OOOHOHohohohohhhhh I always thought we’d go along and fight the same bright cause as you Get caught like a second guess, and realize the sky ain’t always true Always take smart chances and make sure there’s calculated risk When all else comes up and fails, learn to grift!

Even though you think that you're not who you've been We got some news that may mess up your head Leave you for dead, totally amused I got to you faster than you got to me But now I'm confused. I got no reason to live No reasons to give, utterly confused We'll burn all the liars down We'll waltz through the ashes that drift all around We'll kiss all our friends goodbye We'll cry for the liars You got the news that all your friends haven't been As honest as you with all the time that they've spent But it's no reason to live utterly abused We'll burn all the liars down We'll waltz through the ashes like snow on the ground We'll carefully cast the first stone and we'll moan for the liars We'll waltz through the ashes that drift all around We'll cry and we'll die with the liars

We are the silent observers, a masterpiece of murderous things We are a chemical junkyard A thing that goes bump in the dark An accident that went way too far A sleeping from dusk until dawn Why sit by and let it worry your head? The sun’s so bright I’ll stare and go blind instead! We are the land that’s infertile A midnight’s empty chill until daylight We are the clouds that won’t produce A man who brings home the bad news Your son has been taken with his platoon Your company’s been sold, so you lose Why sit by and let it worry your head? The sun’s so bright I’ll stare and go blind instead!
