It's like picking up the pieces is a daily chore 
                                                                 
Thinking of your time card forms a habit 
                                                                       
Watching rich folks on T.V.'s like picking a sore 

Fuck it all, they can have it 
                                                                 
And now I'm loaded like a gun again 
                                                                 
Like a plague of locusts heaven sent 
                                                            
Just a ball of dissension with a death perception 
                                           
I won't sweat the definition of content 


                                                                    
They said "better safe than sorry" and "look out for #1" 
                                               
I heard "only play the cards your shown" 
                       
Fuck what they say 
                        
It doesn't matter anyway 
                                        
Only in your grave are you alone 


         
       


                                                            
Like grown men staring with little boy's eyes 
                                                                
And actresses speaking with conviction 
                                                           
These people should demand a Pulitzer prize 
                              
For various works of fiction 


                        
"Judge a book by it's cover" 
                  
And "keep one eye on your back" 
                                               
I heard "only play the cards your shown" 
                              
I say fuck what they say 
                        
It doesn't matter anyway 
                                       
Only in your grave are you alone 



So many people with so much to show 

Rotting away in their own little holes 
                                              
One can only wonder why 
                        
I'll celebrate my home 
                                    
But know that I'm not alone 
                                                        
Only fools are "along for the ride" 
                                                                          
In thinking of the size of the world that's right outside 
                                                          
Please don't waste it trying to hide
