Things are going altogether well
In this community, in this community, in this community
Things are going things are going altogether well
No jerks allowed
A quiet place
No one rejected
No one turned away
The ritual
The welcome home
The kind of thing
You get it or you don't
So watch your tone
Normal denied
I sympathize
It will be re-supplied
It's common sense
It's common thought
So just be kind
It wavers then it locks
I smell an eggshell
Learns how to walk and
Talks pretty soft but
Moves like a cop, yeah?
Aesthetic pleasure
I aim for half-way
Targets and measures
If you could spend your day
Anywhere else, man
Would you be here? why
Would you be here?
If you could spend your day
Anywhere else, well
Would you be here? why
Would you be here?
Would you be here?

Sooner than you understand
You will struggle to recall a
Point in time before you were
Dying to know me
You're dying to know me

I need you to like me, man
I'll do everything right
I am quick on the uptake
I am good conversation, I swear
I will be worth your time
I know it looks desperate, man
I'll stay as long as I'm allowed
I don't know what you've heard but I'm a decent investment
I swear - I will not weigh you down
If no one cares where you end up
You'd better make yourself desired
If you want a shoulder to cry on then
You'd best bes playing for the team
If you got nowhere else to sleep tonight
And best-laid plans backfire, god forbid
And the thought of going home rips your soul out your chest
(and in your case, let's say that it should)
You better make sure that you're part of the scene
If you want anybody out there to care that you're breathing
Tomorrow, you better look radiant
Better be fuckable, better stay mean

'cha waitin for?
'cha waitin for?
D'you call it a family?

Here now here now here now
Well, if you could spend your day
Anywhere else, here, now, now, bleagh
Well, if you could spend your day
Anywhere else, Huh? Huh? Here, now
Well, if you could spend your day
Anywhere else, then,
Would you be here?
Would you be here?
Starving animals will eat
Each other first,
Each other first,
Each other first,
Each other first
