Living The Dream

Time and time again Lord I keep going through the motions A means to an end but the ends don't seem to meet Walking around living the dream anytime I take the notion Til the truth comes bubbling up so bittersweet

Ain't no point getting outta bed if you aint living the dream It's like making a big old pot of coffee when you ain't got no cream I don't need to change my strings The dirt don't hurt the way I sing I don't have to do a Goddamn thing except sit around and wait to die

Been waiting on an angel waitress to come and take my order Tell me all about the special today Staring at a puddle of mud in my spoon couldn't be much boarder Hoping them circles don't call back telling me to start today

That old man upstairs, he wears a crooked smile Staring down at the chaos he created Said son if you ain't having fun just wait a little while Momma's gonna wash it all away And she thinks Mercy's overrated
