Retirement |
| Our mistakes are scrawled upon the chalkboard |
| They’re scribed across stained glass |
| They’re posted on the billboards |
| A lackluster charade |
| And are we so naive to concede these forefathers? |
| Apparently we are |
| Well, apparently it’s true |
| There’s no slot machines past the pearly gates |
| Why do we kid ourselves? |
| We grow old and wise |
| We just lose our minds |
| The dinner is a hit |
| The guests are full of spirits |
| They gather around the husband |
| He’s versed in party tricks |
| The wife is in the bedroom |
| Smearing her makeup, makeup, make it up |
| But she’s got a lover on the side |
| Motels, cheap wine |
| She says «You can’t base love off the pity fuck |
| Unless they’ve got a lot of money.» |
| 'Cause it’s the games that we play |
| 'Cause we need to exist |
| We’re not humans, we’re citizens |
| It’s the one on the ground |
| With his hands on his heart |
| It’s the cleavage of division |
| It’s all jagged and jaded |
| But it suits us |
| We just fake it through |
