Sit around and watch tv

God, I hate what I see

Lock me up and throw away the key

Spend my time chugging tea



But I can't, I can't

It's not fair, it's not fair

Think about it

While gettin' grey hair



Throw my change at a machine

Buy a chocolate bar so I can dream

Another day going down the drain

Wash away and wash away the pain



But I can't, I can't

It's not fair, it's not fair

Think about it

While gettin' grey hair



It's just another phase that I'll go through

This time I'm sure that I'll lose you

Place my bets on all the jacks and queens

Probability being that it seems



I'm blind, I'm blind



[cut lyrics - not included on album version]



As I drift away

I heard a cry

And I'm checking around

to see if everyone is still alive

I peel myself back to the black of night

Everything from here is controlled right
