We've got everything We've got everything We've got everything down to a science so I guess we know everything We know everything We know everything We know everything was built to expire so I guess we've done everything If we carried it out to sea Pushed it over the edge we'd have all been through, Well first off Gary got drunk fell asleep in his car til about noon Flat Top Tony got all messed up split his lip chasing cheap perfume Well look at our boat in the bay it looks like some sad ass little canoe We've done everything We've done everything We've done everything like trial by fire so I guess we'll stop trying now We've tried everything We've tried everything We've tried everything half assed and as liars and that's how we've got everything If we carried it out to sea pushed it over the edge we could have all been through Well no one even bothered showin' up but we still did what we should have thought through We crashed in like waves into the stars Didn't want it didn't need it but we knew that we could see it so we opened up the door We receded like waves out of the stars Didn't want it didn't need it but we knew that we could steal it left it dying on the floor We've got everything We've got everything We've got everything down to a science so I guess we know everything We've got everything We've done everything We've tried everything We've got everything We've got everything
