Living The Dream
Time and time again Lord I keep going through the motionsA means to an end but the ends don't seem to meetWalking around living the dream anytime I take the notionTil the truth comes bubbling up so bittersweetAin't no point getting outta bed if you ain't living the dreamIt's like making a big old pot of coffee when you ain't got no creamI don't need to change my stringsCause the dirt don't hurt the way I singI don't have to do a Goddamn thing except sit around and wait to dieBeen waiting on an angel waitress to come and take my orderTell me all about the special todayStaring at a puddle of mud in my spoon couldn't be much boarderHoping them circles on the paper don't call back telling me to start todayThat old man upstairs, he wears a crooked smileStaring down at the chaos he createdSaid son if you ain't having fun just wait a little whileMomma's gonna wash it all awayAnd she thinks Mercy's overratedAin't no point getting outta bed if you ain't living the dreamIt's like making a big old pot of coffee when you ain't got no creamI don't need to change my stringsCause the dirt don't hurt the way I singI don't have to do a Goddamn thing except sit around and wait to die Aus Songtexte Mania
