Say Anything
Slumming It With Johnny
[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)
