lyrics

Radio alarm clock's red light shines
like a sore in the middle in the middle of the night.
6:30 a.m. a man asks me if I'm happy with the cigarettes I buy.
Commercials on the radio.

I got a thought that I keep real close--
I'm not made for the downtown heights.
The boys in market research tell us
a lot can hide in neon lights.

Semi-automatic's on the shotgun side,
semi-automatic's on the shotgun side.
Can't feel safe in our shopping malls,
so we drive.
Commercials on the radio.

Songs about DJs and being young;
we lost our minds, but we still had fun.
Celebrate a person that you never meant to publicize,
and tell me why you're happy with the cigarettes you buy.

Check the analytics in the middle of the night,
check your vital signs.
Chest pains could be anything,
it could be your time.

I'd rather be alone when I'm feeling this way,
sit around and cultivate
all the things that grown-ups told me,
the same old story, I never wanna pull my weight.
There are things about you that I will never know,
there are things you'll never know about me.
We know in our heads there are things
better left unsaid or with technology.

Commercials on the radio...
