You can say you’re optimistic
But oh God, what a world
What a heartbreaking, terrifying freak show
You can say that it's all good
But you’re not sure
No you don’t know, you don't know
The life you’re living is coming to an end
And that is something you can't transcend
You say you gotta love your friends
With whom you share your truth
Yeah you sure know how to talk the talk
You say it like you mean it
Serious as a heart attack
But in the end you don’t walk the walk
You don’t walk the walk
You say that by 70 the whole mess of our lives
Is that we are not all nuts on the same day
It's a little bit of this and little bit of that
No black and white just shades of gray
You can feel trapped like a bee in a Mason jar
Or you can fly away and say au revoir
You can say that when we’re gone we are gone
We are gone for good
You can look on back on those good old days
But there ain’t nothing left
No nothing of the neighborhood
Never be blasé or take your shit for granted
This crazy old world on which we are planted
