Living your life in the gray
Is the new American way
We're spending what we haven't made
And we save our money in good faith
And we work hard for our living wage
But the still the bank's gotta break
Because the dream's a lie
And the snake, it bit you
When you were awake
And the books are fried
You are bankrupting
Because all the loans you take
Big wave
Big wave
Big wave
It's going to hit you with a big wave
I can't sleep these days
And my blues, they won't go away
So there are these little pills I been taking
And my doctor, she says that they're safe
But I been sleepwalking down to the lake
And waking up in the water
And the feeling's a lie
But the snake, it bit me
When I wasn't awake
And the scripts, they lie
I have been poisoned from
All the things I take
Big wave
Big wave
Big wave
It's going to hit me with a big wave
Big wave
Big wave
Big wave
It's going to hit you with a big wave
I know you feel deprived
(You don't trust me)
Our love is still alive
(You haven't touched me)
It's really just that I don't feel
Like it much these days
And my love's a lie
Because the snake, he visits me
When you are away
And your dreams don't lie
I have been corrupted
Because of all the lovers I take
Big wave
Big wave
Big wave
You're going to hit me with a big wave
Big wave
Big wave
Big wave
It's going to hit you with a big wave
Big wave
