lyrics

Who thinks about their lot in life
And all the crazy things that they are doing
We applaud for the dumbest stuff
When we really should be booing
We buy junk that we don't really want
And then we buy a whole lot more
No never once do we ever ask ourselves
What we want these stupid things for

Live out your life and never ask the question why
Slice off yourself the biggest piece of the pie
Do as little as you can for each and every other guy
Work buy repeat die

Who thinks about the things they say
Before they open their big old mouths
We stand around chewing our cuds
Like a bunch of dumb old cows
We go through the motions of life
But we don't think about the meaning
Nothing seems to wake us up
Until death comes intervening

We want what we want and we want it now
We want it now
We want what we want and we want it now
We want it and how
Gimme, gimme, gimme, our rallying cry, rallying cry
Gimme, gimme, gimme, before we die

Who thinks about what they think
It really is too much trouble
It's a whole lot easier to live your life
Inside a little bubble
Sure it may seem like nothing but a mindless exercise
But who on their horse is high enough
To tell us how to live our lives
