all of my days have been misspent
stuffing out the sofa and the antenna's bent
inside my heart's bustin' out at the seams
i work for the impossible american dream
i got a job at the grocery store
a few bucks an hour and not much more
the world comes in just to take things away
they eat it all up and then they sleep into day
i try not to care i would lose my mind
running 'round the same thing time after time
only two things bound to soothe my soul
cold beer and remote control
now once upon a time i was nobody's fool
(once upon a fool)
two jobs and showing up for school
i guess it comes apart so little by little
you don't know your there till your stuck in the middle
i try not to care i would lose my mind
running 'round the same thing time after time
and only two things bound to soothe my soul
cold beer and remote control
sit down
(sit down sit down)
the room is dark
(the room is dark)
the blurry graffiti on the benches
across at the public park
the plastic's black and buttoned
(the plastic's black)
the haze is blue
(the haze is blue)
and all i want is nothing to do
'cause it's a long walk to the bus stop
it's a long wait for the turning clock
it's a two-tired car sitting up on the blocks
and things i put aside like that pile of rocks
i try not to care i would lose my mind
running 'round the same thing time after time
and only two things bound to soothe my soul
cold beer and remote control
yes i try not to care i would lose my mind
(all of my days have been misspent)
running round the same thing time after time
(stuffing out the sofa and the antennas bent)
and only two things bound to soothe my soul
(inside my hearts busting out at the seams)
cold beer and remote control
(i work for the impossible american dream)
yeah
cold beer and remote control
(i said i guess it comes apart sNo distinction, no emotion for right or wrong
They tell me any choice will do
No color contrast in their dull morality
The shades of good and bad are through
Situational lies, situational hate
Situational adultery
They mix the black and white so casually
Their ethics sem so vague to me
(Chorus)
And I'm black and white in a grey world
Black and white in a grey world
Black and white in a grey world
It's not so easy finding answers in the shade
It takes some patience, takes some grit
But it's better than throwing all you colors
in the street.
What's life without color in it.
(Bridge)
Ooh, I feel so out of place
Like I've landed on the moon
You can see it in my face
I don't mind being different
Cuz I'm different for the truth
(Repeat 1st Verse)
(Repeat Chorus)
