Assault & Flattery 2008 - A Study Carrel
Lyrics:
Cant think too deep
Must read all day
Dive into work
Ask for higher pay
That drip of hurt
That pint of shame
Goes away
Just play the game
You're living in dystopia
At the end of all your hopes and dreams
You're living in dystopia
Leave your conscience at the tone
Cause when youre living in a dystopia
And you dont take time to live your life
You'll die alone
Kate:
That do gooder cannot see
Cratchit:
And the mentor just wont hear
Kate:
That theres no freedom in his life
Cratchit:
Journal work is oh so dear
Kate:
I hope youll be happy
Cratchit:
Ill just sleep here on the floor
Kate:
Cause your right hand
Cratchit & Kate:
Will be so sore
You're living in dystopia
At the end of all your hopes and dreams
You're living in dystopia
Where its like the Twilight Zone
Cause when youre living in a dystopia
And you dont take time for fun or friends
Youll die alone
Kate:
So I wont try to save us
Ill escape and go get blitzed
I need Bud Light, Shiner, and Schlitz!
Cratchit & Kate:
What is it about this school
Obsession with rank and grades and pay
Cratchit:
I hoped that I could date someone nice.
Kate:
I hoped that I could date someone nice.
Both:
I hoped that I just might get laid
Cratchit:
Katie, I love you, but I just cant do this; I need to break up!
Kate:
Bob, youre a good guy, but I just cant do this; I need to break up!
Cratchit:
Katie, look
Call me an idiot
But I need to focus on my journal work
Kate:
Youre a moron
But its for the best
Cratchit:
Were done!
Cratchit & Kate:
Dying in dystopia
At the end of all our hopes and dreams
We're dying in a dystopia
And burdened by our loans
And when youre dying in dystopia
And you dont take time for fun or friends
You'll die alone
I'll die alone
I'll die alone
I love you guys.
