everyone lay your bad intentions down
everyone operates the same way
operator has cut the lines, deadened the airwaves
maybe in silence we will hear ourselves think

tragically, it's not so cut and dry
for every rule i follow
it's 'cause i've already broken it
100 times before

the cure is perserverence
the disease is non-invasive
it simply makes you lie down and die

it simply makes me a slave to the grind

mr. and mrs. this is your life
2.5 kids and a divorced wife
tragically, 
this is what you wanted

your shit-eating smile cannot tell a lie
mr. and mrs. this is your life
tragically, 
this is what you wanted

everyone lay your bad intentions down
everyone operates the same way
the operator has cut the lines
deadened the airwaves
maybe in this silence
we'll all start talking again.
