lyrics

Such a pretty thing you see
Such an uninspired dream
Such a simple way of life
You're gonna get it, you know you're gonna work

Depressions and recessions
Every year you make concessions
Just so you can reap future benefits
And on and on
But it just keeps going, going, going,
And your savings aren't growing
But you'll reap the seeds you're sowing
When your hair is thin and gray

You're here cause you don't know
What else to do
And you'll listen to anyone
Who says what isn't true
So you can carry that dream
Deep inside of you

Like a tapeworm

Your life is understated
You're uncomfortable and hate it
But you think that you can save it
If you just keep holding on
So you double down on labor
But it ain't doing you no favors
Because you're still waiting for a savior
To save you from this hell

You're here cause you don't know
What else to do
And you'll listen to anyone
Who says what isn't true
So you can carry that dream
Deep inside of you

Like a tapeworm
