Living the Dream

Time and time again, Lord, I've been going through the motions

As a means to an end but the ends don't seem to meet

Walking around just living the dream anytime I take the notion

'Til the truth comes bubbling up so bittersweet

Ain't no point getting outta bed when you ain't living the dream

It's like making a big old pot of coffee when you ain't got no cream

I don't need to change my strings 'cause the dirt don't hurt the way I sing

Oh, I don't have to do a goddamn thing, sit around and wait to die

Well I been waiting on an angel waitress, come and take my order

Tell me all about the special today

Staring at a puddle of mud in my spoon couldn't be much boarder

Hoping them circles don't call back telling me to start today

That old man upstairs, he wears a crooked smile

Staring down on the chaos he created

He said, "Son, if you ain't having fun just wait a little while

Momma's gonna wash it all away, and she thinks mercy's overrated"

Ain't no point getting outta bed when you ain't living the dream

It's like making a big old pot of coffee when you ain't got no cream

I don't need to change my strings 'cause the dirt don't hurt the way I sing

Oh, I don't have to do a goddamn thing, sit around and wait to die

Oh, I don't have to do a goddamn thing, sit around and wait to die
