Quality of Life

So if I've got your contempt

Then I know you've got mine

Covet, I will, my trinkets

Living sublime

So tell me what is real

And all that constitutes that

A collared man breathes on your neck

They're on your back

Intact, fuck that, I pity you

Validation, validation

What's the difference now?

Eschew the standard

Turn the paradigm upside down

You could be happy

If you wanted to be

Don't feel obliged to live a life

You never wanted to

The best way out is straight through

Let intuition guide you

You could be happy if you wanted to be

But you know that you don't

Whoa

Don't you pay no heed to those who take no liberties

The way of sheep is not for me

Behind your walls you cannot see

I'm glad you met the standard

So pleased you met your quota

It's myopic

Hand in your pocket

Mind on your wallet

Fuck that, I pity you

Live for you, for you

Validation, validation

What's the difference now?

Eschew the standard

Turn paradigm upside down

You could be happy

If you wanted to be

Don't feel obliged to live a life

You never wanted to

The best way out is straight through

Let intuition guide you

You could be happy

If you wanted to be

So bring it back to me (Strong)

So tell me honestly (Whoa)

My friend, don't lie to me

Did you ever really love everything that you did?

And everywhere that you've been?

Are you just scared to live?

So till it kills me

Of living a life of regret

I'm not a hypocrite

Another marionette

So hold your hands high

You abide by your strings in the sky

Dancin' to a pre-ordained lie

You're a marionette

Validation, validation

What's the difference now?

Eschew the standard

Turn paradigm upside down

You could be happy

If you wanted to be

Don't feel obliged to live a life

You never wanted to

The best way out is straight through

Let intuition guide you

You could be happy

If you wanted to be
