"Sound Existence" lyrics

"Sound Existence"

You've got a place to stay and you have got a place to park
The neighbourhood you live in is a safe place after dark
Your head is on your shoulders and your feet are on the ground
You look out through your iPhones as you walk yourself around

Safe within your sound existence
Safe inside your self-subsistence
Oh

It's not a Spanish castle but it's fine for what you need
A stitch in time saves nine and if at first you don't succeed
Walk out down the sidewalk towards your coffee counter spot
Drink a cup and think about the good things that you've got

Safe within your sound existence
Safe inside your self-subsistence
Oh

Yeah, the chirping crickets enter daylight savings time
The best day's yet to come but you could still get by just fine

It's all going keep you happy if they don't turn on the news
If getting by's the new successful who needs lots to lose?
It's been a long strange trip but it's worn well upon your face
You're in your golden years and you are in your proper place

Safe within your sound existence
Safe inside your self-subsistence
Safe within your sound existence
Safe inside your self-subsistence
