Slumming It With Johnny

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Me and John rode out from ocean heading east I had to see, with my own eyes, the factories I'm buggin' out, we've never strayed this far Right out of town, southeast and down, inside my filthy car But when we got there all we saw were more malls and marble mansions In emerald parks the singing larks proclaimed the great expansion There is no beautiful garbage, they cleared it up already Tears roll out the eyes and though I cry I hold the wheel steady Steady! [Chorus] Do do do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do do do [Verse 2] When I get home, I cannot stand my house My father still fighting with his trophy unfaithful spouse I hear the echo now I see it somewhere else A thousand ways, a thousand days, a thousand towns across the commonwealth Out on a date but like a dog she smells the fear and runs And still we make our cheese tortured artists are no fun I dream of anger, sex, with her I succeed but still Soon I'll be poppin' pills, this emptiness will not be filled or killed [Chorus] Do do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do do [Verse 3] Look at the earth: It's just so green Perhaps it's envious of all the galaxies it's seen Where forces swirl in symbiotic harmony Free of the taint, the gas, and paint of parasites like me Keep using love as the excuse for why we're fat and lazy Wait to grow old, like we've been told, go bald, go west and crazy This is so pointless it actually holds up our evolution Sing it to the bastards & free yourself from mental prostitution [Chorus] Do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do [Outro] Do do do do do do do (Oh, Oh, I didn't know, I didn't know) Do do do do do do do (Oh, Oh, I didn't know, I didn't know) Do do do do do do do (Oh, Oh, I didn't know, I didn't know)
