| All the pretty petty things that you think you need All the hours spent alone in front of your TV All the times you pretend you didn't waste your life All the times, all the times you wish you did things right Chorus: Told you once Told you a hundred thousand times You're not livin' your life you're followin' guidelines You never know if you never try You never life if you never die Your addictions to possessions that govern your life Your subscriptions like persriptions make you feel alright You know someday that the time will come when you go beyond the labels and your cellular phone Chorus Burnt out and sold out you're workin' for the man Payin' for a war in the promised land Hipocrite's your name but it's only fair 'Cause you gotta keep it strong that you just don't care Chorus All the pretty petty things All the pretty petty things All the pretty petty things All the pretty petty things All the pretty petty things that you think you need All the hours spent alone in front of your TV All the times you pretend you didn't waste your life All the times, all the times you wish you did things right Chorus All the pretty petty things that you think you need All the hours spent alone in front of your TV All the times you pretend you didn't waste your life All the times, all the times you wish you did things right Chorus Chorus Chorus Chorus |
| Lyrics by Jon Solove |
| Meaning: This song is about breaking away from your material possessions and simply being yourself. It is my personal ode to the pretty people. It DOES stink. |
