I live in a dream of a country
I live in the valley of stars
It's better when you take the back seat
and blend in with the rest of the cars
I should get a good job and a faithful wife
I should go back to school and make my parents proud
I should chase a black car for the rest of my life
and choke on the fumes from its toxic cloud
It's like I'm only on this earth to play a roll
Like the moment of my birth was nothing small
Like it's any different from a funeral
Deliberately illiterate
Consider it, a bathroom stall
Because I live in a dream of a country...
