Talking television at the casual party Here's some brand new friends to get you started off So start it off Since Ben got that he's a sociopath He's only playing games don't be distracted, oh It's all or nothing, all or nothing So you really got something to lose It's coming around as it did before It's gettin' your attention but where's the door? Woah I can't locate it, where's it located? I got plenty to live for Blind faith, it don't sit right You got rage wound so tight I wanna leave Best get out of the way Blind faith don't sit right You're full of rage wound so tight I'm gonna leave Best get out of the way Awful conversation at the casual party The job, the babble on, the recreational hobbies, oh No it never stops Kids and the dog, a freshly-mowed lawn Retirement plans for a mountain home, oh Been arrested, lived in Texas My God I'm gonna leave it with you Blind faith don't sit right You got rage wound so tight I better leave Best get out of the way Blind faith don't sit right You're full of rage wound so tight I'm gonna leave Best get out of the way Talking conversation at the casual party Awful television don't get you started, oh No it never stops Children and dogs and manicured lawns All your future plans, vacation homes I wanna go Home It's so stupid Everything's about you man Hey! Hey what's up? (that's Steve)
