Stiff and wooden
like an awful kiss
You spend your time
shaking your fists
They say to follow you bliss
and I can see your house from here
Bird on a string
Man with a job
You get to feeling
like you've just been robbed
but you don't mind at all
It looks so peaceful from here
They shake you up
and watch you explode
The darkness is coming
to find you alone
You say you just don't want to know
What's going on round here
These priceless objects
this paper soul
These bits and pieces
we found on the floor
It's all about who you know
We'll make a stand right here
Incidentally I feel great
Life's an easy game to play
Served on a paper plate
God loves his children
so we are told
God loves the brazen
God loves the bold
but God is getting old
We'll just move on from here
You feel the weight
of this old weary world
lay down your burdens
here in the dirt
It's just about your turn
to make them all disappear

Love the lyrics on this. Very sparse and poetic. Lines like these are great:
You say you just don't want to know
What's going on round here
These priceless objects
this paper soul
These bits and pieces
we found on the floor
It's all about who you know
Really leaves it open to the interpretation of the listener, which for me makes me more invested. Nice work!
