Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ten fingers counting, we have each
Nine planets around the sun repeat
Eight ball will last if you, triumphant be
Seven oceans pummel the shores of the sea
[PreChorus]
It's a typical situation in these typical times
Too many choices, hey, yeah
It's a typical situation in these typical times
Too many choices, hell
[Chorus]
Everybody's happy, everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
Everyone'll come around
Why are you different?
Why are you that way?
If you don't get in line, we'll lock you away
[Chorus]
It all comes down to nothing
[Verse 2]
Six senses feeding five around a sense of self
Four seasons turn on and turn off
I can see three corners from this corner
Two's a perfect number, but one, well
[Chorus]
Everybody's happy, everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
Everyone'll come around
Why are you different?
Why are you that way?
If you don't get in line, we'll lock you away, oh
[Chorus]
Everybody's happy, everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
Everyone'll come around
Why are you different?
Why are you that way?
If you don't get in line, we'll lock you away
[Chorus]
It all comes down to nothing
[PreChorus]
It's a typical situation in these typical times
Too many choices, hey, yeah
It's a typical situation in these typical times
Too many choices
[PreChorus]
We can't do a thing about it
Too many choices, hey, yeah
It's a typical situation in these typical times
Too many choices, yeah
[Chorus]
Everybody's happy, everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
Everyone'll come around
Why are you different?
Why are you that way?
If you don't get in line, we'll lock you away, oh
[Chorus]
Everybody's happy, everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
Everyone'll come around
Why are you different?
Why are you that way?
If you don't get in line, we'll lock you away
[Chorus]
It all comes down to nothing
It all comes down to nothing
It all comes, oh
[Chorus]
Everybody's happy, everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
Everyone'll come around
Why are you different?
Why are you that way?
If you don't get in line, we'll lock you away
[Chorus]
It all comes down to nothing
Hey, hey, hey, hey
[PreChorus]
It's a typical situation in these typical times
Too many choices, hey, yeah
It's a typical situation in these typical times
Too many choices
[PreChorus]
We can't do a thing about it
Too many choices, hey, yeah
It's a typical situation in these typical times
Too many choices
