Lonely sidewalks, no one on the street.

If you must gather, please be discreet.

Take the order, leave it at the door;

Ran out of boxes, they keep asking for more.

That's what we want, call it living

Tell them how you feel

That's what we want, call it living

That’s what makes it real

Well I read it in the paper and I know that it's true

You better follow all the rules or they'll come for you

Have some candy, you'll feel much better soon;

Bring your papers by the light of the moon.

I'll be a doctor, you be a doll;

And I'll meet you in the Meta at the Codfish Ball.

That's what we want, call it living

Tell them how you feel

That's what we want, call it living

That’s what makes it real

Well if you think that old boy plays a mean guitar

You ought to get a load of his avatar

Don’t be a hero, and you’ll keep your family fed;

‘Cause if you speak your mind, then you’ve made your bed.

You’ll be leading the dance, boss, at the Codfish Ball

If you keep in mind it’s safer not to think at all.

That's what we want, call it living

Break the seal

That's what we want, call it living

Fold, new deal.
