lyrics

When I get my shit together
I’ll be a force to reckon with
Possessor of self discipline
Not dreaming the day away

When I walk, a destination
Will be a part of my equation
A to B trajectory
Not wandering place to place

It’s like I’m in a velvet painting
Crying clowns and naked ladies
Children praying they don’t go to hell

Dark and lush and oh my gosh
You could just get lost
Every desire is for sale

Sometimes the leash is so light, I forget that I’m a dog
Just trying to get along

I have heard but can’t believe
A billionaire can fall sleep
Reclining on a golden heap
While others waste away

When i can get out of bed
I’ll filter out the walking dead
Repeat the mantra in my head
“To others, do what pays”

Don’t be so melodramatic
It’s just a semi automatic
Anyone can get one down the street

Glory to the CEOs
Never mind the Holy Ghost
Everybody get down on your knees

Sometimes the leash is so light, I forget that I’m a dog
Just trying to get along
Just trying to get along
