We Live In A Dump (Demo)

Hangin' out
While the monkeys type away
Waiting in this room all day

Why be realistic?
Don't wake me from my dream
I was individualistic but
They kicked me off the team

We live in a dump
And it is a dump
My friends are all nuts
And half of 'em drunk
And if they're not nuts
Then they're retired nuts
And that might be the hardest nut

Makin' plans
The kind that go awry
Got a full life-time supply

Why be realistic?
Don't wake me from my dream
I was individualistic but
Someone kicked me off the team

We're living the past
What's good about that?
I hear they lay eggs
And when the eggs hatch
You gotta believe them
That's the way their madness
Runs the lead that gets us feeling glad

We live in a dump
And it is a dump
Our friends are all nuts
And half of 'em drunk
It isn't enough
That they're retired nuts
And that might be the hardest nut
We live in a dump
