Lyrics

Hangin' out while the monkeys type away
Waiting in my room all day
Why be realistic?
Don't wake me from my dream
I was individualistic
They kicked me off the team
We live in a dump, admit it's a dump
Our friends are all nuts and half of 'em drunks
And if they're not nuts, then they're retired nuts
And that might be the hardest nut
Makin' plans, the kind that go awry
Got a full lifetime supply
Why be realistic?
Don't wake me from my dream
I was individualistic
They kicked me off the team
We're living with bats, what's good about that?
I hear they lay eggs and when the eggs hatch
You gotta believe, then there's related madness
From the lead that's in the sealing wax
We live in a dump, admit it's a dump
Our friends are all nuts and half of 'em drunks
And if they're not nuts, then they're retired nuts
And that might be the hardest nut
We live in a dump
