The candle burns at both ends now
And we can't seem to handle how
Nothing grows and nothing stops
Desperate minds in hopeless towns
Serve the herd and plant your feet
Take them soda, bring them meat
Keep a tired eye on the things you want
Gotta be friendly, gotta be sweet
It's the real thing
It's a bad dream
She comes to visit she lives in New York
He hates the South and he misses his work
She hates the way he talks down to her dad
He's trying not to, but sounds like a jerk
"I'm not important, I'm just part of the plan
With no time to waste, I waste all I can
I start to feel different, I start to retreat
I can't question my leaders, I'm a God fearin' man."
It's the real thing
Don't be upset, don't ask yourself why
It's a bad dream
But if you wanna wake up, you have to die
"Is it really worth it to expect more?
Most of life is such a bore
I'm convinced this place is the best
And if you protest, I ask what for?"
If you have to ask, then you're to blame
Don't act surprised by the hurricane
