nothing on my mind.

[pa..]

I've been thinking hard
hasn't been light
sometimes it's been keeping
me awake at night

thinking of the world
the problems that it has
thinking of myself
and realize I'm just as bad

so hard to change
too hard to re-arrange
feel a little different
but act just the same

if I want to live
then I better try
because don't you know?
we're all destined to die

put a smile on my face
have faith in eternal life
find myself a house
buy myself a wife

get the fancy car
get the leather seats inside

if I ever feel sad
pay a visit to my shrink
he'll give me a pill
I'll take it a couple weeks

it's about this time
when I start to find
there's nothing on my mind
nothing on my mind
there's nothing on my mind
nothing on my mind

run over to the store
buy some empty food
come home and eat it up
even if it's not that good

my body won't care
and I can sit and stare
into the T.V. until nine
go to bed and close my eyes

wake up before the sun
a new day has begun
it's the same as all the rest
but I'd better do my best

get myself clean
be sure to use the soap
razors on my skin
sizors in my nose

get out the door
be sure to be on time
get out on the roads
stay inside the lines

it's about this time
when I start to find
there's nothing on my mind
nothing on my mind
there's nothing on my mind
nothing on my mind

soon before the end
I'll realize the cost
I'll realize that half
my life was just a loss

everything I own
everything I owe
it all gave me nothing
it was all a show

speaking of the lies
people promised more
great life in the skies
great reward for the bore

I believed it true
even though I knew

there's nothing on their minds
nothing on their minds
nothing on their minds
nothing on my mind
