about

Written (literally) during a giant training meeting at one of those "real" jobs while I was calmly freaking out in my khakis.

lyrics

Pick up my paycheck, my warring country's legal drug of choice
And tonight, between reruns of Law & Order with the sexy special guest
Talking dogs will tell me what to buy
They just put up a Wal-Mart right next to my favorite shopping mall!
Oh, clean and shiny sprawl! Comfortably insured from thought!
And I can't wait to be told what to think

Staring at those diverging paths
Of wives and kids and toys and dogs
Of drugs and sex and rock and roll
Of sports cars parked in corporate spots
And trying to figure out which is worse
Selling fries or buying lies
But there's sure as hell no direction home

Bus my last table, grab the train, watch the people fear the rain
Give the bums some drinking change, my church's offering plate
And peruse the secondhand stores
Dollar menu dinner, I retreat to my underground home
With underground books, and overdue rent
Where we smoke and strain for truth
