Say Anything - Slumming It With Johnny lyrics

Me and John rode out from ocean heading east

I had to see with my own eyes the factories

I'm buggin out

We've never strayed this far

Right out of town southeast and down

Inside my filthy car

But when we got there all we saw were more malls and marble mansions

In emerald parks the singing larks proclaimed the great expansion

There is no beautiful garbage

They cleared it up already

Tears roll out the eyes and though I cry I hold the wheel steady

Steady!

Do do do do do do do do do

Do do do do do do do do do

When I get home

I cannot stand my house

My father still fighting with his trophy unfaithful spouse

I hear the echo now I see it somewhere else

A thousand ways, a thousand days, a thousand towns across the commonwealth

Out on a date but like a dog she smells the fear and runs

And still we make our cheap tortured artists are no fun

I dream of anger, sex, unnurtured I succeed but still

Soon I'll be poppin pills

This emptiness will not be caved or filled

Do do do do do do do do

Do do do do do do do do

Look at the earth

It's just so green

Perhaps it's envious of all the galaxies it's seen

Where forces swirl in symbiotic harmony

Free of the taint, the gas, and paint of parasites like me

Keep using love as the excuse for why we're fat and lazy

Wait to grow old, like we've been told

Go bald, go west and crazy

This is so pointless it actually holds up out evolution

Sing it to the bastards

FREE YOURSELF FROM MENTAL PROSTITUTION

Do do do do do do do

Do do do do do do do

Oh Oh I didn't know I didn't know

Oh Oh I didn't know I didn't know
