lyrics

They're building new homes down the street
For vivid lives I'll never meet
We mean so much, but so much means not at all

To each their own, I own this speech
I don't care about anything that's not me or my friends
I think that you'd say the same

You wake up angry, hate your job
In the shower feel you've lost the plot
Life was like a promise back when you were a kid

And I'll still fill myself with anything
Emptier for it all the same
I've got the Champagne of Beers, streamed TV, and this song

And women don't have much to say
I'm probably wrong, it sure feels that way
It's probably my fault, my love's a dying flame

All these pretty faces I'll never hold
Pretty bodies I'll never own
I'm still young
There's no reason for me to feel this way

Now life's a joke and it's on us
The movies made me want to measure up
But it's a tough world for a beggar
So maybe I'll turn thief
You know I'd get up early to watch the lightning leave
