Stuck In Line At The Checkout Counter
Oh
Mm
Do you ever get this feeling
Like something isn't right
When you're stuck in line at the checkout counter
Waiting for your time
It's like everything stops moving
But veggies milk and bread
The beeping at the register
Reminds me I'm not dead
We spend our whole lives waiting
For our moment to arrive
We're stuck inside this endless loop
The world passing us by
I scratch my head and wonder
Why the hell am I alive
That's right
What's the point of this
I'm trying to decide
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
The cashier starts to mutter
The bagger hides a grin
Your world unveiled for all to see
Conveyor belt of sin
Cash or card it doesn't matter
I got paper plastic blues
Most people here are zombies walking
Don't care enough to choose
We spend our whole lives waiting
For our moment to arrive
But when we finally get there
Oh it's never worth the hype
I scratch my head and wonder
Why can't god give me a sign
That's right
What's the point of this
Living to survive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Driving home a lonely road
It's all the same routine
I cook and eat then go to bed
Wake up to the same thing
Am I any closer to heaven
Or am I condemned to hell
What judgment will they pass on me
When they know the thoughts I've felt
We spend our whole lives waiting
Like we're cattle in a line
It's not what you imagined
When you finally see the light
I scratch my head and wonder
Why the hell am I alive
That's right
That's right
Mm
Do you ever get this feeling
Like something isn't right
When you're stuck in line at the checkout counter
Waiting for your time
It's like everything stops moving
But veggies milk and bread
The beeping at the register
Reminds me I'm not dead
We spend our whole lives waiting
For our moment to arrive
We're stuck inside this endless loop
The world passing us by
I scratch my head and wonder
Why the hell am I alive
That's right
What's the point of this
I'm trying to decide
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
The cashier starts to mutter
The bagger hides a grin
Your world unveiled for all to see
Conveyor belt of sin
Cash or card it doesn't matter

Most people here are zombies walking
Don't care enough to choose

When you finally see the light
I scratch my head and wonder
Why the hell am I alive
That's right
That's right
