Agenda Suicide Lyrics
You can follow logic
Or contest it all
The work solution makes the common house a home
The element of progress
That you mentioned's gone
And de-evolved to something you were headed toward
As I lay to die
The things I think
Did I waste my time?
I think I did
I worked for life
All we want are just pretty little homes
All the work makes pretty little homes
Like a cast shadow
Like a father's dream
Have a cut out son
Was the worst disease
You get that pretty little home
As I lay to die
The things I think
I don't want to regret what I did
And work for life
All we want is just pretty little homes
All our work makes pretty little homes
Agenda suicide
Drones work hard before they die
And give up on pretty little homes
Like a cast shadow
Like a cast shadow
Like a cast shadow
Like a cast shadow
Like a cast shadow
Our work makes pretty little homes
Our work makes pretty little homes
Agenda suicide
Drones work hard before they die
And give up on pretty little homes
Or contest it all
The work solution makes the common house a home
That you mentioned's gone
And de-evolved to something you were headed toward
The things I think
Did I waste my time?
I think I did
I worked for life
All the work makes pretty little homes
Like a father's dream
Have a cut out son
Was the worst disease
You get that pretty little home
The things I think
I don't want to regret what I did
And work for life
All our work makes pretty little homes
Agenda suicide
Drones work hard before they die
And give up on pretty little homes
Like a cast shadow
Like a cast shadow
Like a cast shadow
Like a cast shadow
Our work makes pretty little homes
Agenda suicide
Drones work hard before they die
And give up on pretty little homes

this makes me wanna kill myself
There's nothing more depressing than our own dreary reality. This song is tricky in typical Faint fashion. Upbeat, fun, song...depressing lryics...quit your job, and have none of the possessions that you need, or work your whole life for them. sigh I agree with adema69
In a nutshell:
Birth. School. Work. Death.
It's about how everyone's working their entire life's to get all the stuff everyone wants, like it completes us or something (i.e., car, house, wife, kids, etc.). Materialism. It's like we're robots (keyword "droid"). I fucking love them. :D
@DrDuBois "droid"?

Basically, live in an awesome house you don't even get to be in because you have to work that much to live in it. Give up this dreary lifestyle and you have nothing. Yay. Good stuff
@XrookieoftheyearX Or just yanno be born with a trust fund so you can buy a house and still enjoy it.

I love the imagery and allusion to "homes." I wonder if perhaps the meaning of the word extends not to just a lavish (and ultimately obscure) lifestyle, but to the idea behind family and to the ideal "American" family, in the "Partridge family"/"Leave it to Beaver" sense; I am turned on to the idea from the line "makes the common house a home."
To be honest with you... I dismissed the Faint from the point where i came across the artical in a local Florida zine (Counter Theory), until the point where I actually downloaded a song (about a year and some pperiod of time). Boy can I tell you how amazed I was, and how ashamed I felt that I had been holding back on something so supreme as this. Not even the music, but the fucking literature inside of the song; although the music embraces it with the typical Faint upbeat, depressed synthesizer effects. This is a great song. What a great perspective on "life" in this song. The whole "perfect" picture that a general person depicts for himself : Get married, have kids, retire... die. "Work for life"... Great song.
this song is great "if techno had balls it would be the faint"
Man, How I can Listen to this song Over and Over...
Fuckin great, awesome synthesizer cuts that tear my asshole apart with each pounding vibration. I love when they break it down after talking about pretty little homes. Not one of my favorite lyrical cuts from The Faint, but an instrumental treat indeed. I get a major boner just thinking about those keys, tear that ass up.
