Your gun went off Well you shot off your mouth and look where it got you My mouth runs on too Shouts from both sides "Well we've got the land but they've got the view!" Well now here's the clue Life it rents us And yeah I hope it put plenty on you Well I hope mine did too As life gets longer, awful feels softer Well it feels pretty soft to me And if it takes shit to make bliss Then I feel pretty blissfully Your gun went off Well you shot off your mouth and look where it got you My mouth runs on too Shouts from both sides "Well we've got the land but they've got the view!" Well now here's the clue We are fixed right where we stand Life it rents us And yeah I hope it put plenty on you Well I hope mine did too We are fixed right where we are As life gets longer, awful feels softer Well if feels pretty soft to me And if it takes shit to make bliss Well I feel pretty blissfully For every invention made how much time did we save? We're not much farther than we were in the cave As life gets longer, awful feels softer And it feels pretty soft to me And if it takes shit to make bliss Well I feel pretty blissfully If life's not beautiful without the pain Well I'd just rather never ever even see beauty again Well as life gets longer, awful feels softer And it feels pretty soft to me For every good deed done there is a crime committed We are fixed For every step ahead we could have just been seated We are fixed As life gets longer, awful feels softer Well it feels pretty soft to me And if it takes shit to make bliss Well I feel pretty blissfully We are fixed We are fixed We are fixed right where we stand
