Slumming It With Johnny

Me and John rode out from ocean heading east
I had to see with my own eyes the factories.
I'm buggin out, we've never strayed this far
Right out of town, south east and down, inside my filthy car.
But when we got there all we saw were more malls and marble mansions.
In emerald parks the singing larks told claim the great expansion
There is no beautiful garbage, they cleared it up already.
Tears roll out the eyes even though I cry I hold the wheel steady, Steady,

Do do do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do do

When I get home, I cannot stand my house
My father's still fighting with his drunken, unfaithful spouse
I hear the echo and now I see it's someone else
A thousand ways, a thousand days, a thousand times across the commonwealth.

Out on a date but like a dog she smells the fear and runs
Until we make our cheeks on torturted artists are no fun
I dream of anger, sex with her should I succeed, but still
Caught me popping pills, this emptiness will not be filled OK

Do do do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do do

Look at the earth, its just so green
Perhaps its envious of all the galaxies its seen
Where forces swirl in symbiotic harmony
Free of the taint, the gas and paint of parasites like me
Keep using love as the excuse to why we're fat and lazy
Wait to grow old like we've been told go bald, go west and crazy
This is so pointless it actually holds up our evolution
Sing it to the bastards, free yourself from mental prostitution

Do do do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do do
