Wake up to a blare of alarms and a cold bed
Shave your face to a song you no longer like
Pull on clothes barely noticing their stains
And you're ready to lead a life well lived

Swallow your cereal and your pride
Then speak lies to satiate your unhappy wife
leave the house with shoulders hunched
To go work and lead a life well lived

Exchange smiles that end before they start
Shake hands with the boss you'd much rather punch
Silence your morals and mislead the innocent
This is how you lead a life well lived

Throw the burning liquor down your throat
Look into a mirror till you see a dancing monkey
Stumble home to a cold bed and close your eyes
For you have led a life well lived
