Morning Parade - Culture Vulture lyrics

Numbers turn to money Ain't it funny how we're built To spend the whole of our lives running Number crunching on a**umption There's reason in repeating rhymes And throwing keys and swapping wives As long as it's within the privacy Of our own private lives Stuck with no direction Seeking everyone's attention Out for his or hers affection For I've got the recollection No Viagra, no erection No insurance, no protection And no cure and no prevention Did you ever think to mention A smaller house, a smaller town where plain old gossip does the rounds Giant fish in tiny ponds Where nothing's really going on And everyone knows everyone And everybody's goings-on And everyone wants everyone To try to f** to get along AMX at ETY The booze will cut you loose If even for a day or two or three Or four or five or six or ten You'll never be the same again And people won't remember you Your children and your children's too We alone can contemplate And dig the hole for their remains AMX at ETY Do I have you so innate And so uptight, yeah AMX at ETY Do I have you so innate And so uptight I hope I sleep tonight I hope I sleep tonight I hope I sleep tonight I hope I sleep tonight So then you change the channel Turn your cheek and look the other way Your life now on hiatus Checks the status of your friend's new says Tell them all about those bags Tell them all, but do be frank Tell them all those people died Let's see what's on the other side And no one cares 'cause no one minds 'Cause everybody's filled their time With everything that's going on And on and on and on and on And on until the end of time No way to know about what's right Growing up and getting older Just another culture vulture
