lyrics

doing garbage work in a garbage place for a garbage and ungrateful customer base leaves you wondering why you went to college at all
because you learned to drive and you learned to count
you had both hands, both feet and a brain and a mouth
now you're tied up and bored
and wish you could move a bit more

your grandpa could've told you
your mother never tried
when you're paying for the answers
you're asking for a lie

get your friends high
lift yourself from here
whisper every affirmation into every ear
you only get one life
half a life to recover
throw your hands up
when you feel the need
for joy or whatever
to throw off grief
we do what we can
supply and demand

walk a mile or two in someone else's shoes
someone who lost skin from the hell they've been through
and you'll ask yourself why you didn't join the marines
cause you tell yourself it'll be okay when strangers stop throwing their smiles in your face
and you know that it's wrong to be complaining at all

your uncle tried to tell you
your brother told a lie
when the problem is attention
the problem's right outside

get your friends high
lift yourself from here
whisper every affirmation into every ear
you only get one life
half a life to recover
throw your hands up
when you feel the need
for joy or whatever
to throw off grief
we do what we can
supply and demand

maybe you could join a fraternity
maybe you could join the jaycees
maybe you could organize a game night, a quiz night, a show you might actually go out to see
we'll see

reading market news about ambitious tools
who'll tell you that if you don't win then you lose
makes you ask yourself who signed off on these monstrous rules
cause you want to be decent, you'd like to be good
you'd do right by the poor and the weak if you could
but just trying to get through does damage you'd rather not do

the preacher's kind of said it
but mostly kept it in
when you want to die with riches
you'd best invest in sin

get your friends high
lift yourself from here
whisper every affirmation into every ear
you only get one life
half a life to recover
throw your hands up
when you feel the need
for joy or whatever
to throw off grief
we do what we can
supply and demand
