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.

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. Uh Oh.
We are fixed.
We are fixed.
As life gets longer, awful feels softer. Well it feels pretty soft to me. (We are fixed.)
And if it takes shit to make bliss, well I feel pretty blissfully. (We are fixed.)
We are fixed.
We are fixed.
We are fixed.
Right where we stand.
