It's a Lie

"It's A Lie" performed by Mike Marelli and The Krelkins
2:49 (2.64 MB, 44 khz MP3 file)
My SUV is driving me
My MP3 is playing me
My clothes are all wearing me out

My TV is watching me
My paper is reading me
I try to stay up with the crowd

But no one seems to notice when I say I have no fun
Living in our luxury when the long work week is done
I'm drowning in my coffee, I'm shrinking every day
I'll be so small by Saturday I'll never get away

But we try and we try
They say you'll be a winner when you cross the finish line
But it's a lie. It's a lie!
I'll spend my life on money, but I can't buy back the time

My computer is using me
My fast food is consuming me
My little race is running me 'round

My dog is walking me
My soul is selling me
And I just bargain it down

You can't relive one minute when you're young and gray
I couldn't trade my SUV for a single day
But I'm driven to distraction, I'm just trying to get on top
I'm reaching for the minute hand, I've got to make it stop

But we try...

My PDA is using me
Genetic food consuming me
Our little race is running me down.
