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 drеams
Romanticize about a retrospectivе 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, oh-oh
'Cause 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 yeah, we're pissed off
But can you really blame us anyway?
'Cause 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
