All I ever wanted was a place to rest
All I ever found was another mess
All I ever wanted was some time to think
All I ever needed was another drink
All I ever wanted was to be myself
I was always told to be like someone else
I was only looking for a pretty girl
All I ever found was a f*cked up world
Tell me your local version of God
Tell me your local version of government
What is your local version of hate
What do you do for fun these days
Work 80 hours just to pay the rent
Watch TV 'til your mind is bent
Today's another clearance discount sale
Another day in a living hell
Walk around town lookin' for something to do
Just the same old thing, man, nothin' new
Everyone I meet tells me nothin' but lies
Now I need to run and find a place to hide
She says she loves me, says we're more than friends
She says we'll be together 'til the end
Then I see her out with another guy
And they wonder why I don't even try
Remember to say hello with a smile
Only 40 years until you retire
Same routine, everyday nothing changes
Same old people, same old boring situations
Tell me your local version of love
Tell me your local version of war
Tell me your prejudice views on prejudice
Tell me that joke again about justice
