Artificial Life

I go through the motions every day Shower and shave and work hard till payday Convince myself, that this will suffice But I know, it's a fool's paradise It's so artificial I've gotta, I've gotta an artificial life I catch the train at 7:15 At the corner of Madison and Steen Glance at a People magazine's best seller Convince myself things couldn't be sweller It's so artificial I've gotta, gotta an artificial life So, I grab a beer right after work And I dream of being Captain Kirk Always somewhere new to go But I eat alone watching stupid talk shows It's artificial I've gotta an artificial life I have fantasies each and every day But I'm scared to change and step away If I make one of these fantasies real Then who knows, what my life would reveal It's so artificial It's hard to be true-to-life True-to-life It's so artificial I've gotta an artificial life It's so artificial, artificial life It's artificial It's so artificial Gotta an artificial life
