If it's mine to give it's gone
lost or left somewhere along
the way and forgive my honesty
but you can have all I'll never be

one day machines will quit
and the ones like me who don't see fit
to play a part will move along
with no pity for the deadest ones

and everyone with a soul will fall in love
buildings bend and punchclocks rust
for everyone in the dust who can't recall
smokestacks choke and billboards fall
a painting hung on every wall

can I be this miserable?
will it count to be this careful?
and if everyone's this sad and cold
please pass the fucking pill

I've seen everything to see
and I can't breathe around such company
if it only proves my frailty
I denounce humanity
