And I've retired To a better life Hiding from the world It gets under my skin And, yes, it's hard on the brain Buying the right magazines The posters show The clothes to wear The roadside billboards Can lead you there At least you're not alone Live in paper houses Burn the bridges and telephones Leave the animals your home And I've admired Art sprayed on the walls And fashion is a f**-up I can see that now And we'll still put fuel in my car And drive round the neon cigar Keeping our troubles at bay Take me out of the grave Feast yourself on fast food In this hamburger hell Cash flow a-go-go You better paint your smile on And, yes, it's hard on the brain Putting the right records on The world still wears a lipstick smile The roadside cameras still click in time At least you're not alone Live in paper houses Burn the bridges and make us strong Leave the animals Live in paper houses Burn the railroads and telephones Leave the animals your home
