Sim City

I walk through the door
Can't remember what I came here for
I look around
And I can't seem to find the door
Like some old cruel god reached down
Rearranged the walls
Look to the sky
And I watch as the cards fa-all
As the cards fa-all

Its a sim city, baby
Don't get to cho-o-oose
Whether you get to live
Whether you win
or you lose
Just at the whims of fates
So high above
Whether you fall to hate
Or if you find love
It's a sim city, baby
Or that's the excuse

Sit down
Double checking my pockets
Sit at the table
And I open up my doc-u-ments
The same words repeat over again
And the ones I'm looking for escape my pen
They escape my pen

Oh it's a sim city, baby
Can't fight the ti-i-ides
If you play your cards right
You might make it out alive
You're stuck spinning
Running the wheel
Living the vibe
Or watching the reel
Oh its a sim city, baby
Don't you read the news

Wake up
tie stapled to the desk
I look around
And I'm lost in all the mess
Papers on the ceiling
Lights on the floor
Walk out the window
and I roll down the car door

We're all sims, baby
Watch as the people pass
They're all glued to their phones
AI falling to the path
Walking down the sidewalk
As they stumble into the street
Whatever they're doing it's not for me
Cuz I've got two feet
And somewhere to go
Whatever I'll do now
Nobody knows
Cuz I'm walking out
Of this godforsaken place
This city's a graveyard
The finish line of the rat race
Da-dada-da
It's a sim city, baby
I speak in words and I count to three
I will not join the system
Be a cog in the wheel
I got ambitions
I gotta find that thrill
They will stand mediocrity
But wait till they see
I've got the world in my pocket
And a lot more to see
I'm a little off rhythm
And a little of rhyme
But the chaos is where it's at
Order leads to stagnation
Gonna leave the sim city
Gonna tear up the nation
Going to strike out
Make a name for myself
Why do I gotta take the climb if I can just enjoy the fa-all
Da-dada-da
Its a sim city, baby
Can't be in the sim city, baby
I'm leaving the sim city, baby
Gotta leave this sim city baby
Da-dada-da
Da-dada-da
Da-dada-da
I'm getting out
So fa-fa-fa-fake
Gotta get out
Getting out
This sim city
Ba-bah
Yeah
This sim city, man
I'm getting outta here
Yeah
