when i call your name, you do not react when i look at you, you avoid eye contact when i talk to you, you got nothing to say i ask whats the matter, then you walk away [chorus] you've got that far away look with a blank stare you've got that far away look maybe deep in prayer you've got that far away look as if floating in air you've got that far away look like you're not all there what happened to you, you used to be so alive you were so engaging, you had so much drive seems like something happened to your spirit i'm singing a song, but you do not hear it. [repeat chorus] [bridge] maybe you're no longer in this world you don't seem to have a grip perhaps you've already checked out and are just waiting for the mother ship [repeat chorus]

second hand smoke flick yer ashes in my food fling yer butts in my direction so careless 'n rude you started a fire too big to put out now the whole earth is smokin' and now there is no doubt [chorus] we're living in your ashtray dying from your smoke burning in your embers 'n you think it's just a joke destroy the planet destroy the human race take many species with you without a trace you can make excuses you can do all the talking we're beyond the tipping point we're dead men walking [chorus] your pants are on fire our forests are in flames but it doesn't bother you to you it's just a game [chorus]

i have to work more for less i have to work an extra job i can barely make ends meet might need to beg, borrow or rob making a living is killing me it's driving me into the ground i do it just to survive, you see but it really brings me down i gotta deal with people at work with pointy elbows and ambition ready to throw me under the bus, they consider me the competition. [repeat chorus] why does it have to be such a struggle all i want to do is get by almost makes me look forward to the day that i can die [repeat chorus]

it was bound to happen some day popped up out of the blue a big promotion came your way considered a major coup as joe would say, its a big eff'ing deal people will know your name i can only imagine how you feel to be at this level of the game but you're playing with the big boys they play hardball it'll be a struggle, but you must have poise be careful not to fall these boardroom dudes, bald and gray who knows what they will do they are jerks, they'll make you pay just looking for someone to screw they will put you through an ordeal they will try to place blame at times it may seem a little surreal be careful not to go down in flames you're playing with the big boys they play hardball it'll be a struggle, but you must have poise be careful not to fall the sweet smell of success ah, power is addicting you got the moves, you got finesse its their pain you'll be inflicting you're playing with the big boys you play hard ball it'll be a struggle, but you must have poise be careful not to fall

simple mind, simple tastes got love handles around my waist but that's ok, I've got peace of mind its alright, i got nuthin' to hide skippin' down the alley way i don't have a care today. simple things for simple folk have a beer, have a toke its alright to kick back and relax its ok, don't need to put on any acts skippin' down the alley way i don't have a care today. walking around, staring at my phone i run into a pole and i start to moan gotta keep my head up, gotta watch out but i'll be okey dokey, that's what its really all about mac n cheese, a hamburger please a silly tattoo below my knees just having some fun, don't mind me nuthin' going on here, nuthin' to see skippin' down the alley way i don't have a care today.
