Kids with bachelor degrees are making my coffee
And high-tech counting machines are paying my bills
Don’t get angry, just get even, is what I learned from every season
Of every fucked-up-family rich-guy reality show

Cars with black leather seats
Are driving me places
There’s zombies out on the street
Everywhere
If I pretend that they don’t see me
Just like all my friends on TV
I won’t get anxious when they come too close

But oh my God, is it so bad
To want something that you’ve never had?
A little peace of mind
Every goddamn day is a lifeboat on a tidal wave

Waking up in a dream to somebody whispering
There’s someone you gotta see here on the screen
They tried to warn us, you best believe
Honey nothing comes for free
Everyone pays in their own special way

But oh my God, is it so bad
To want something that you’ve never had?
A little peace of mind
Every goddamn day is a lifeboat on a tidal wave

We got nothing to rely on
Just the debt we’ll never pay back
This machine doesn’t dream so it needs you for that

But oh my God, is it so bad
To want something that you’ve never had?
A little peace of mind
Every goddamn day is a lifeboat on a tidal wave
A lifeboat on a tidal wave
