I don't wanna die at The Crows Nest Hotel
With $50 in my pocket from a recent Ebay sell
But as I extend the parking for my car
I change my last notes at the bar
You know you are already gone
I don't wanna die shooting someone else's gun
As I tell innocent civilians that they better fucking run
But if I cut my hair and I stand to attention
I'll be making eighty five thousand dollars plus expenses
I don't really need to mention that I'm already gone
I know things are getting harder than they seem
I know people better than me who got half the things they dreamed
I know life is kinda scary I know uncertainty is hard
But I'm begging you please just stay where you are
I don't wanna die behind a partition wall
With someone stupider than me breathing down my neck keeping score
But as I brush my teeth I tie my tie
I rush to get to work by nine
I know that I'm already gone

And I know that you won't say it but it's clear that you can tell
We don't need a man in the sky to let us know that we're in hell
I sold my soul for 40 hours it barely covered half the rent
Now I search for some catharsis cause I am well and truely spent
But all the voices on the radio the people on TV
They might speak for everyone
But they don't speak for me
But this neighbourhood its boring its full of stay-at-home dads
And great-rate-first-home-buyers busy dying busy dying
And I don't really know if I am happy or I'm sad
Or if I made the right decision but I'm trying I'm really trying
To matter
And I know that you won't say it but it's clear that you can see
This old planet that we're spinning on its doomed eternally
I bought the lesser of two evils I wrote my list of pros and cons
I spent $40 on a Keep Cup so at least I'm not in the wrong
But when I head to the election its kinda hard to shake the feeling
That something's wrong when torturing children can be ignored
If you abolish negative gearing
But this neighbourhood its boring its full of stay-at-home dads
And great-rate-first-home-buyers busy dying busy dying
And I don't really know if I am happy or I'm sad
Or if I made the right decision but I'm trying I'm really trying
To matter
