Tonight the drunks are infected, we're on our way
F
As if they drop by to see me u-n-i-n-v-i-t-e-d
 And I am  a walflower,  maybe a  better father
  This is a job
 For seconds I miss  the Bentleys
  Today  maybe they'll call,
 You describe every  prison you pass through  them all
 Then he asked  you for your head  and I vowed  to burn your bed
  Try to pretend,  but this is your life,
  somehow,  it feels right
 I'm calling this evolution,  I'm falling for institution
 Warm submission  enveloping you
 Tomorrow I'll survive the questions
 Knives buried with cold indifference
 My world is true  rendered by you
 Riff 1 ARiff 1
 Here they come again,  I could never  find the words
  So I disguised  them in verse
  Until it comes  out dumb and wrong,
  Riff 2
  The simplest song,
 If you sing along
 END
