"The Good Life" lyrics

"The Good Life"

I woke up from a bad dream, had this feeling since I was 13
Tried to forget the world that I had seen, but this nightmare was reality
Sell yourself for currency to own the shares in this make-believe ecstasy
Fast asleep and incomplete, a prisoner in a uniform mentality

Do you want a slice of the good life?
White lies and fiction in paradise
Do you want a slice of the good life?
I'm letting go, I'm letting go
Go

Put your future in a wishing well, and hope to fill your empty shell
Just don't forgot to do as you are told, or you'll find yourself buried and cold
All your bread and circus dreams romanticise about a retrospective regime
Slowly lose your appetite as you're forced to feed on the morals of a soundbite

Do you want a slice of the good life?
White lies and fiction in paradise
Do you want a slice of the good life?
I'm letting go, I'm letting go
Go

Coz you swim through the lies of your perfect hypocrisy
Crooked minds only see what they wanna see
Do you want a slice of the good life? I'm letting go, I'm letting go

Alright, listen up, right now I got summin' to fuckin' say and yeh we're pissed off
But can you really blame us anyway?
Coz I don't wanna live in a modern world
Where love is dead and our minds are sold

So do you want a slice of the good life?
White lies and fiction in paradise
Do you want a slice of the good life?
White lies and fiction in paradise
Do you want a slice of the good life?
I'm letting go, I'm letting go
Go
