Dollar Bills and Dirty Dishes

What would it mean
If I didn't have to do the routine
Live a life exactly how it's depicted
In motion pictures and vinyl CDs
What do I know?
Everybody has their "dos" and their "don'ts"
No one's forcing any lousy decisions
You've got the vision, or didn't you know?
You gave permission a long time ago

So I'm living with conditions
Dollar bills and dirty dishes

What to believe?
Am I bound to this indefinitely?
Always drifting in an aimless direction
Chasing perfection
That's just out of reach?
Cause I don't know how
To pretend I've always got it all down
I'm always hanging by a thread in the stitching
I'm always the loose string
The oddest one out

So I'm living with conditions
Dollar bills and dirty dishes

I gave permission a long time ago
I had a mission I couldn't let go
I was naive then but now that I know
I think it's time to get on with the show

What could it be?
If I didn't have to play make-believe
If I followed through with every decision
With ruthless precision
What could I achieve?
