Didn't Know What I Was in For |
My telephone, it doesn’t have a camera |
If it did I’d take a picture of myself |
If it did I’d take a picture of the water |
And the man on the offramp |
Holding up the sign that’s asking me for help |
I got a job and I’ll work here for the summer |
I fold the towels and set them by the pool |
Everyone looks happy with each other |
'Til they step away and say the thing they really meant |
They always sound so cruel |
I didn’t know what I was in for |
When I signed up for that run |
There’s no way I’m curing cancer |
But I’ll sweat it out |
I feel so proud now for all the good I’ve done |
I know a girl who owns a boutique in the city |
Selling clothes to the fashionably late |
Says she cries at the news but doesn’t really |
'Cause it’s too much fun, there’s too much time |
And too much plastic money to be made |
I didn’t know what I was in for |
When they took my belt and strings |
They told me I’d gone crazy |
My arms are strapped in a straight jacket |
So I couldn’t save those TV refugees |
When they’re on their backs |
In a bloody bath |
Full of Sarin gas |
On a screen |
I didn’t know what I was in for |
When I laid out in the sun |
We get burned for being honest |
I’ve really never done anything, for anyone |
To fall asleep I need white noise to distract me |
Otherwise I have to listen to me think |
Otherwise I pace around, hold my breath, let it out |
Sit on the couch and think about |
How living’s just a promise that I made |
