Sit at a desk and stare at a computer Ponder the life that I casually fake Lay in a bed and stare at the ceiling Imagine all the art that I will never make I'm getting sick of playing all the chords I'm getting sick of walking through the same doors And I'm so tired of talking through these strange devices And I'm so tired of working for the little slices of... The American Day Dream I don't want it And you don't need it And if we've got it baby maybe we should leave it
I don't need it And you want need it And if we've got it baby maybe we should leave it It's a damn good time to be alive Simple house, lazy dog, pretty wife And it's a damn shame that I'm stuck Stubborn waiting for my body to wake up Just living in The American Day Dream I don't want it And you don't need it And if we've got it baby maybe we should leave it I don't need it And you want need it And if we've got it baby maybe we should leave it
