Well your life will fall apart if you let it
Working for a tiny bit of credit
Always hungry in the land of plenty
Out of choices before you turn twenty
Gotta live with each decision you make
Slipping and sliding and praying that the ice won't break
There's a little dust on everything I own
I've been living someone else's life not mine
Mama tell your boy to come on home
For the first time I ain't sure it turns out fine
Cold medicine and dreams
Such a modern masterpiece
It's a sign of the times
Satisfied never complacent
Feeling worse than the potholed pavement
Never gave a single thought to the end
Can't save so we'll just keep on spending
Sleep all day to stay up all night
Worshipping ourselves in the glow of the neon light
There's a little dust on everything I own
I've been living someone else's life not mine
Mama tell your boy to come on home
For the first time I ain't sure it turns out fine
Cold medicine and dreams
Such a modern masterpiece
It's a sign of the times
Well we know where we've been
We recognize the cracks
We say we won't go back
Baby we never left
There's a little dust on everything I own
I've been living someone else's life not mine no no
Mama tell your boy to come on home
For the first time I ain't sure it turns out fine
Cold medicine and dreams
Candy cigarettes and schemes
I'm always splitting at the seams
Baby I'm a modern masterpiece
It's a sign of the times
