from the album "Last Words"
just what i wanted to see
another strip mall for me
another place to shop
just what i wanted to see
it goes with the strip mall perfectly
another parking lot
i can remember when
things weren't always quite as bad as this
i can remember that parking lot wasn't there
and i remember when
when you used to care
about it and get mad about it and
you kept asking "why oh why"
now you don't notice it and no-one seems to mind
when will they ever be satisfied?
how many strip malls will it take?
how many more million do they have to make?
until they're happy with what they've got...
they're gonna turn the world into one big parking lot
and i remember places i used to play
those places are gone today
they cut down my past for an interstate
my childhood has been paved.
and i know it'll never be the same
i can't help feeling sorry for this place...
what a waste.
what a waste.
sometimes it's hard to figure out
what this life is all about
sometimes it's hard to even see
what it has to do with me
this parking lot that we call home
just doesn't feel like home to me
please tell me that i'm not alone
i'm not the only one who disagrees
having a hard time trying to figure out
where i fit into this mess
having a hard time trying to understand
why we would want any of this shit
life is more than going to the mall
and buying what the tv tells you to buy
life is more than having your car
so you can eat and sleep and drive it far
i don't understand
i don't understand
i don't really think that i fit in
i don't understand
i just can't see
guess this isn't the world for me...
