Sad Dumb Game

I see a lot of hippies

Crying about the flowers in their hair

Walking into nicely painted houses

With cool conditioned air

I've chosen to be happy

And other little quips from Voltaire

A cool conditioned strategy

With an underwhelming flair says

I work hard for all the money that I make

Pay close enough attention

And they'll even give a little bit away

They work hard for the branding

They work harder for the take

I see them give themselves a little pep talk

Right before they take the stage

What a sad dumb game

What a sad dumb game

I see a lot of hippies pushing smoke into the air

Walking into new inflated housing

With cool conditioned air

Saying I've chosen to be special

With a blind well meaning stare

A calculated strategy

Or, an underwhelming prayer

Says I work hard for all the money that I make

Pay close enough attention

And they'll even give a little bit away

They work hard for the branding

They work harder for the take

I see them give themselves a little pep talk

Right before they take the stage

What a sad dumb game

What a sad dumb game

What a sad dumb game

What a sad dumb game
