Your gun went off. 
Well you shot off your mouth and look where it got you. 
My mouth runs on too. 

Shouts from both sides, 
"Well we've got the land but they've got the view!" 
Well now here's the clue. 

Life it rents us. 
And yeah I hope it put plenty on you. 
Well I hope mine did too. 

As life gets longer, awful feels softer. 
Well it feels pretty soft to me. 
And if it takes shit to make bliss, 
Then I feel pretty blissfully. 

Your gun went off. 
Well you shot off your mouth and look where it got you. 
My mouth runs on too. 

Shouts from both sides, 
"Well we've got the land but they've got the view!" 
Well now here's the clue. 

We are fixed right where we stand. 

Life it rents us. 
And yeah I hope it put plenty on you. 
Well I hope mine did too. 

We are fixed right where we are. 

As life gets longer, awful feels softer. 
Well if feels pretty soft to me. 
And if it takes shit to make bliss, 
Well I feel pretty blissfully. 

For every invention made how much time did we save? 
We're not much farther than we were in the cave. 

As life gets longer, awful feels softer, 
And it feels pretty soft to me. 
And if it takes shit to make bliss, 
Well I feel pretty blissfully. 

If life's not beautiful without the pain, 
Well I'd just rather never ever even see beauty again. 
Well as life gets longer, awful feels softer. 
And it feels pretty soft to me. 

For every good deed done there is a crime committed. 
We are fixed. 
For every step ahead we could have just been seated. 
We are fixed. 

As life gets longer, awful feels softer. 
Well it feels pretty soft to me. 
And if it takes shit to make bliss, 
Well I feel pretty blissfully. 

We are fixed. 
We are fixed. 
We are fixed right where we stand.
