lyrics

what a surprise, my inbox is empty
sunday is here, and i'm still in this city
my friends are all fighting, my job is slowly dying
lets figure out the future while my clothes are still drying

well of course we care, of course we care it's not that we aren't worried
it's just that we pretend we don't in case this whole thing is dirty

it's because of the economy my heart is in shambles
it's because of my salary i'm breaking my connections
i’m breaking my salary because of my connections
because because because because because because...

i don't need anybody
i can stay in my room all day and i don't need anybody
who cares about society? when you aren't invested in
humanity...

just let me take you out to lunch, i owe you for helping me
please understand i'm not myself, because of the economy

you'll have to understand why bitches are bitches
every cause has a cause there must be an alternative
...to your wishes
