Chorus (x2)
Everything in this world is very temporary
You want it you get it you got it and then you get buried
And all of this is really not very necessary
From every angle know every version is very scary


InkLine
It goes go go gadgets, digi-cameras and ipods
Cell phones, ring tones oh my God
Theres a million and one reasons to keep believing in hethens
that need to be able to clap to turn the light on
I’m obligated to tell the truth when my mics on
Grips on control with the hold of a python
Though it seems all real whether right/wrong
That reality is as synthetic as nylon
I know your kind right?! Caught up in the lime light
Blind mice type with 20/20 hindsight
When ever timed right, I got my mind right
Some say I sold my soul just to rhyme tight
The bigger better faster way just to get shit
They need to invent some new matches to burn bridges with
A good ol’ fashioned burning just like the witches get
Just ‘cause you read a fashion ad don’t mean you’re not illiterate

Chorus(x2)

InkLine
And I can barely care to be arrogantly following carefully
To see what’s new and cool to do and do it daringly
And apparently, most of you played the fool
But I missed that bus, man I’m way too cool for school
But I can never seem to keep up with technology
Or worry about in-store credit and return policies
And honestly being a technophobe bothers me
To the point where I fear satellites follow me
And probably I’m just being paranoid
But there’s proof of possibilities being marketed in every store
Thanks due to technological advances
Coming out with everything extreme no matter how outlandish
Hungry for more, our ego is famished
Malnourished, ill purpose, needing a bandage
Where were you the day they took over the planet
With a marketing scheme, consumers and corporate bandits

Chorus (x2)

Bridge
We need something else to believe in
The jokes on you, it’s no secret
Guess whose got your kids on the weekend
(x2)
-Not me

Chorus
Chorus2
Everything in this world is very temporary
Your house, car, clothes, wife if you get married
We desire everything that we dream
And in the end have it all but not anything we need

Outro
It’s the American way-ya know
You gotta get it (get it) gotta gotta get it while it’s hot
Gotta get it while the getting’s good, even if it’s not-and it’s not
