Everyone (And Their Mom)

I took myself down the crossroads to sell my soul there to the Devil

But the Devil, well, he never did show up

So I had to give myself to any passing strangers with handsome features

Pretty face, kinda eyes, some sweetness, something sharp

Reduced to getting used to getting by

Searching for some grace while turning both blind eyes

I heard a rumble on the other side

Son, here comes everyone, yeah

Woke up applauded by some little judges

Holding up their shields of grudges

To protect themselves from the coming of a mad world

I was sucking up to a music biz wiz who sells his soulful ears

To senseless mammoth companies

Who own summer, love, youth, and all my songs

Well, just like them I wear my plastic crown

You can hear that little craving fear in all I've done

Grace lies in the longest run

Long lost causes to be won

Here comes everyone, yeah

Here comes everyone, yeah

Look, this is the outskirts

A far cry off the supersize all seeing eye

A wilderness of boredom

No lows, no highs

The only way out is to get lost in dreams

Whispers, prayers, visions

Before we spend too many years

In the belly of the beast

All the wrongs of the world tattooed deep under our skins

Yes, I'm a liar

Yes, I'm a thief

Even if these

Ready made morals keep

Me safe from myself

But barely remembering

The sweet taste

The essence

The only way out is to get soaked in dreams

The only way out is deep into the heart of the machine

Stare straight into the flames

Until the whole thing caves right in and loses grip

That's all I've got for you right now

A finger pointed at the sun

Well, come on

Come on

Come on

Well, come on

Well, come on, come on, come on

I need everyone

I need everyone

I need everyone

I need everyone (We're in this together)

We're in this together

We're all dressed for murder

So how's the weather?

We're in this together

I need everyone (The starship is sinking)

Whole world is sinking

Get rich, die trying

So the whole world is dying

The whole world is dying

The whole world is dying

The whole world is dying

The whole world is dying

Everyone, everyone in

Everyone, everyone in

Everyone, everyone in
