Big Wave

Living your life in the gray

Is the new American way

We're spending what we haven't made

And we save our money in good faith

And we work hard for our living wage

But still, the bank's gotta break

'Cause the dream's a lie

And the snake, it bit you

When you were awake

And the books are fried

You are bankrupted because

All the loans you take

Big wave, do-do-do

Big wave, do-do-do

Big wave

It's gonna hit you with a big wave

I can't sleep these days

And my blues, they won't go away

So there are these little pills I been takin'

And my doctor, she says that they're safe

But I been sleepwalking down to the lake

And wakin' up in the water

And the feeling's alright

But the snake, it bit me

When I wasn't awake

And the scripts, they lie

I have been poisoned from

All the things I take

Big wave, do-do-do

Big wave, do-do-do

Big wave

It's gonna hit me with a big wave

Big wave, do-do-do

Big wave, do-do-do

Big wave

It's gonna hit you with a big wave

La-la-la, la-la, la-la

La-la-la, la-la, la-la

La-la-la, la-la

La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la

I know you feel deprived

You don't trust me

Our love is still alive

You never touch me

It's really just that I don't

Feel like it much these days

And our love's a lie

'Cause the snake, he visits me

When you are away

And your dreams don't lie

I've been corrupted 'cause

All the lovers I take

Big wave, do-do-do

Big wave, do-do-do

Big wave

You're gonna hit me with a big wave

Big wave, do-do-do

Big wave, do-do-do

Big wave

It's gonna hit you with a big wave

Big wave, do-do-do

Big wave, do-do-do

Big wave

It's gonna hit you with a big wave
