When I was young
I had a toy
He was a friend
I was a boy
He followed me
But not to school
He had to stay home
We went to war
And off to bed
Flew to the moon
And on a sled
We had the world
Inside our head
And mother nature
Nature
Hey! It was beautiful then
No! Didn't know it would end
Yeah! All we wanted to do was
Save the world
I go to work
And straight to bed
I talk to girls
And to myself
I worry about
My mental health
And education
Concrete July
Friends at the bar
Not by my side
Looking at stars
Didn't we say
We wanted more
Hey! It was beautiful then
No! Didn't know it would end
Yeah! All we wanted to do was
Save the world
Now that the world needs saving
I lack imagination
For more than its grave's engraving
Oh I lack imagination
Hey! It was beautiful then
No! He was a hell of a friend
Yeah! All we wanted to do was
Save the world

Life's so dull
On a tiny screen
Purge my memory full
Of false directories
Shutting down discourse
Approved source
Squint and frown
Shout 'til you're hoarse
I swear
I don't care
Just trying to claw my way out
I swear I don't care
Just trying to claw my way out
Animals
In a magazine
Grazing centerfolds
A fake menagerie
Slow to grow
But fast to change
Cells and rows
Rearrange
I swear
I don't care
Just trying to claw my way out
I swear I don't care
Just trying to claw my way out
Animals don't use data plans
Don't need no other kind of Ram
Why use your mouth when you've got hands?
But we're all thumbs
I swear
I don't care
Just trying to claw my way out
I swear I don't care
Just trying to claw my way out
I swear
I don't care
Just trying to claw my way out
I swear I don't care
Just trying to claw my way out

Don't think I don't know
I'm looking out
From the bottom of the
Bottom of the well
Don't jerk me around
I've given up
Won't be waiting for the disappointment
You will disappear
And everything you know
Will crumble, too, in time
You will disappear
And everything you know
Will crumble
Turned around and saw
You crawling out
From the bottom of the
Bottom of this hell
Reached and pushed you down
There's no way around it
This time
You will disappear
And everything you know
Will crumble too, in time
You will disappear
And everything you know
Will crumble too, in time
