  Tonight the drunks are infected, we're on our way 
                                   
  As if they drop by to see me u-n-i-n-v-i-t-e-d 
                         
  And I am a walflower, maybe a better father 
              
  This is a job 


                      
  For seconds I miss the Bentleys 
                      
  Today maybe they'll call, 
                                             
  You describe every prison you pass through them all 
                                                  
  Then he asked you for your head and I vowed to burn your bed 
                              
  Try to pretend, but this is your life, 
           
  somehow, it feels right 


                                                     
  I'm calling this evolution, I'm falling for institution 
                                                       
  Warm submission enveloping you  

Riff 1

                       
  Tomorrow I'll survive the questions 
  
  Knives buried with cold indifference 
                            
  My world is true rendered by you 

Riff 1    A#     Riff 1

                                     
  Here they come again, I could never find the words 
                    
  So I disguised them in verse 
                           
  Until it comes out dumb and wrong, 
                 Riff 2            
  The simplest song, 
                
  If you sing along
