lyrics

grew up in a city that we built out of pity
and it's not too nice, and it's not too pretty
but it's all we've got so just deal with it
two long days and a new beginning
deals, deals, oh so quick
an upscale movie and an indie flick
indie that, indie this
just let it go and let us live

you know what you'll be
so i can spend my time at sea
when this cash is more than green
we cut down trees, we're singing
this is going great!

we drive nice cars but not too far
exquisite taste, a life of stars
i'll buy your drinks...
yeah i'll buy it all, but
when you come back persistent kids
are following your marks and skids
unhappy lies, we're getting rid
of everything, you know

you know what you'll be
so i can spend my time at sea
when this cash is more than green
we cut down trees, we're singing
this is going great!

nothing is real, we sold our souls
to market schemes and acting roles
yeah, who am i?
well...i don't know
a pack of wolves and banker chains
they're begging, now we're stuck in rain
it's time for more than pocket change
you know, you know, you know

you know what you'll be
so i can spend my time at sea
when this cash is more than green
we cut down trees, we're singing
this is going great!
