lyrics

the life

paper bag or plastic, you’re making a choice, oh yeah / pistol or broken glass, you’re making a choice, oh yeah / so take your pick, you can’t get it wrong / it’s the road we’re on / but it’s not the one I want

put it in the basket, stock up for the hurricane / go to dad and ask him if he cleared the fire escape / we can’t afford to get it wrong if it’s raining long / keepin’ the life we want / give us the life we want / we want the life we want

cutting is the fashion, she moved up to hollywood / got a little mansion, bought up all the friends she could / but hates the weight, it’s making her old / in the world she knows / but it’s not the one I want / it’s not the life I want / it’s not the one I want
