Is this a life, when you're living inside quotations? Is it a crime to imagine how you'd kill someone? Could we be wrong and still be friends? Live to disagree till the bitter end? Shoot me down with emoticons But my life is very short and I've got to get on I get my kicks from the marvels of human nature I get my morals from the readings of Dr Seuss Could you be right when you shout from the left? Seems you lost the keys to your community chest Shoot me down on your teletron But you know it's getting late and I've got to get on And now the sun is compromising Only illuminates your blame It just won't bother trying rising But it'll give you something new to think about When you're shouting at the fire with your gas powered mouth I get confused by these troublemaking rabble rousers I get confused quite easily these days Is there just too much stuff in the world? Too much everything for every boy and girl Shoot me down with emoticons But my life is very short and I've got to get on It's life but not as we know it There's life in here But not as we know it Oh dear Is there just too much stuff in the world? Too much everything for every boy and girl Shoot me down with emoticons But my life is very short and I've got to get on It's life but not as we know it There's life in here But not as we know it Oh dear And now the sun is compromising Only illuminates your blame It just won't bother trying rising But it'll give you something new to think about When you're shouting at the fire with your gas powered mouth
