Life is just a pretty candy colored sweet surprise
That's what they tell you when you're five
Then you grow up and you realize
That no one's on your side
And you work until you die
And the ones you think that love you
Are the ones who'll twist the knife
So baby
Pray with me
To a god that isn't there
In a world where no one cares
Till the vultures pick our bones
It's a sunny Sunday morning
And there's not a cloud in sight
And I'll spend this perfect day inside
Trying really hard to hide
From the people that I see
Walking gaily down the street
Holding hands, laughing, and dancing
But they can't fool me
Because I know that they go home
Dejected and alone
And pulling out their hair
In a world where no one cares
So baby
Pray with me
To a god that isn't there
In a world where no one cares
Till the vultures pick our bones
I've spoiled a lot of good things
Darkened a lot of mood rings
But everybody thinks I'm a happy-go-lucky guy
I can't even count the times
I've contemplated suicide
But I don't have the balls
To spray my brains against the walls
And let my roommates find my body two days later
Oh that ice cream truck is singing
And the phone it keeps on ringing
But I'll never pick it up to say
I don't wanna buy their shit today
I don't need a cellphone plan
Or a credit card glued to my hand
I don't want a mortgage loan
To work my fingers to the bone
To make payments on an ice cream cone
When I just want to be left alone
In a world that tears us both apart
And it keeps breaking my heart
Till the vultures pick our bones
