Lyrics
O.C. Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So I wanna be a member and I wanna be a name
And I Wanna be a local face and play the social game
Dancing through a time warp in your dinosaur trends
The limit of your mind is what they're counting on all ends
Listen to the media present it as a fact
Fall in your orders cuz you don't know how to act
Travel on estranged cuz you don't know your own way
They'll get you in the end then you'll pay
Cuz O.C. life is not the life for me
Stupid little chicks and, egotistic boys
O.C. life is not the life so free
Pressures on my back
and artificial joys . . . for you girls and boys
Wanna be a member, wanna have some fame
Fighting to stay ahead a part of the game
Combat authority but don't get out of line
Or they'll put you in the slammer you'll be doing some time
714 tattooed on my head
I find myself labeled that I'm a victim instead
I fight all the rules I don't see the way
I'd rather be dead then pay the price that they say
Cuz O.C. life is not the life for me
Stupid little girls And egotistic boys
O.C. life is not the life for free
Pressures on my back
and artificial joys . . . for you girls and boys
Put the plastic back in the machine
