Just seven years old
So impressionable
I thought your success could be my own
But these factories
Deep inside of me
Have polluted the destiny
Of my aspirations with monotony
Here's to practical life
(Here's to practical life)
To be the Jones next door
To be employee of the year
(To be employee of the year)
To be the man you adore
Deep inside of my head
I try to raise the dead
But my zombie passions that were so alive
Have all become overscheduled and tired
Here's to a pragmatic life
(Here's to a pragmatic life)
To the dreams that I've ignored
A lifetime of routine
(A lifetime of routine)
To be this man I abhor
I can't breathe in this atmosphere
I'm pulled down in this atmosphere
I scratch for the surface in this atmosphere
And I watch the spirit drown in this atmosphere
