Lyrics
BECAUSE
Because I woke up late this morning, remote control stuck tight within my hand
Lungs filled with dirt from too much smokin, I guess I do because I can
I don't care too much for breakfast, I dont think I ever will
I crack a beer for measure and be glad the world is still
Population, education, television, mastrubation,
Tell me why you do things you do now
Because money is our master, and our shield a plastic scheme
For the hate that makes us faster, helps us run toward a deadly dream
Say no drugs say yes to gin and tonic, a clean Mercedes is a plus
Now make sure your chidren truly love you, or they'll go bad and lose your trust
I don't care too much for suburbs, I don't think I ever will
I crack a beer for measure and be glad the world is still
Population, education, television, generation,
Tell me why you do things you do now
Because money is our master, and our shield a plastic scheme
For the hate that makes us faster, helps us run toward a deadly dream
Because I woke up late this morning, remote control stuck tight within my hand
Lungs filled with dirt from too much smokin, I guess I do because I can
I don't care too much for problems, I dont think I ever will
I crack a beer for measure and be glad the world is still
Population, education, television, generation,
Tell me why you do things you do now
Because money is our master, and our shield a plastic scheme
For the hate that makes us faster, helps us run toward a deadly dream
Run toward a deadly dream
