Ready For Anything

I forget
the difference between being in love
And being familiar
with something I hope I'm above.
Hear a lie enough
and it cuts like the Gospel,
when you're half-awake,
no mistake is impossible.

I'm a child again,
lost and happy in make-believe
But I'm lazy now,
so someone's pretending for me.

'untouchable man
who holds his hand out to millions
Anyone can share his beautiful heroes and ugly villains

I spend a lot of time watching my TV,
I take what they give me, and I give them nothing
But I waste a lot of time watching my TV,
'got me right where they want me,
Ready for anything.

I forget
the difference between being loved
'being a loose-pocket, worn-wallet, short-sighted
friend to lift money off of.

Maybe I'm playing their game,
so I can have a show where I stick 'em like a pig one day --
Tell 'em they can go to Hell
'cause they don't know another way
Or maybe I'm here 'cause it's something to do ...
You know Still waters can run shallow too
and I could watch myself run dry.

So I spend a lot of time watching my TV,
And I take what they give me, and I give them nothing
But I waste a lot of time watching my TV,
'got me right where they want me,
Ready for anything.

I forget
the difference between being alive
And living through somebody else
acting out somebody else's life.
