The Killing
[Spoken]
[JASPER]
What is life, right? That's what you want to know? Let me through so I can find my friend, and I'll tell you everything
[Sung]
Who am I to know the truth, I'm a loser
What is life and why exist
It would suck to get devoured so I'll try now
I will pitch the painful gist
[Spoken]
What is life? Life is awful people
[Sung]
Take my mother for a spin, great example
Sixteen years she cooks and cleans
'Til she wakes one day to think
"Where did the time go?
Is this all that living means?"
Oh! She wants more and more
That's all the humans seek
She's a human after a killing
Willing she'll snatch up a movie star
Screw the world, she needs higher billing
Spilling herself for the cash and car
She'll die pointing up at her shelves
See the people, all the crazy people
Living, k-k-killing themselves
And my father's just as sick
(Pass the Percoset!)
Finding new ways to get dumb
(Finding new ways to get more)
Some people search for more but my father, dear
He wants only to be numb
Oh! Tell his world goodbye, goodbye
Still, what's it to me? (What's it to me?)
He's a human after a killing (Hey!)
Filling his days with hope to score
(Oh yeah)
Choking back 'til life gets more thrilling (Hey!)
Chilling his drinks, knowing not who for
He'll die staring off at lost goals
See the people, all the crazy people
Living, k-k-killing their souls
They're either A or B
Except Agnes, 'cause see
Agnes showed me more than a killing
Drilling her words, my life's not a waste
Agnes says it can be fulfilling
She's shilling the truth that I haven't faced:
That I'll die wasting all of my time
See the corpses after a killing
Drilling the coil we live mortally
This is life, mindlessly milling
Fulfilling my fear that the worst is me
I won't die, or be that guy, who like them wasted this climb
(He wasted this climb)
Save the people, I will save the people!
(Save the people, Jasper save the people!)
Living, Well, trying (Dying)
I'll get her back and through, for not just killing my time
(Save the people, Jasper save the people
Save the people, Jasper save the people!
Save the people, Jasper!)
