"Cartoon People" lyrics

It doesn't really matter if I'm happy or sad
It's bigger than the rest of us, I promise you that
I'm glad, I'm glad
He's picking up the drinks and then he's knocking 'em back
I've never seen someone who wears a sad little mask
Like that, like that

The only guy that's got you in the palm of his hands
Is busy today with someone else's plans
She chooses life and then she chooses a man

It doesn't really matter if I'm happy or sad
In any case I look at him, my life ain't half
As bad, as bad

The only guy that's got you in the palm of his hands
Is busy today with someone else's plans
She chooses life and then she chooses a man
He's picking her up but she don't give a damn

Only hints of the crisis that we're pulling towards
Cartoon people fighting an American war

Maybe there's a fire today
Maybe there's a fire today
Maybe it's not going away
Maybe it's not going away

Only hints of the crisis that we're pulling towards
Cartoon people fighting an American war

The only guy that's got you in the palm of his hands
Is busy today with someone else's plans
She chooses life and then she chooses her mind

Maybe there's a fire today
Maybe there's a fire today
Maybe it's not going away
Maybe it's not going away
