lyrics

I like the part where they struggle the best.
I like the part where they made progress.
I liked when the meek inherited the earth
Even if I know what that story's worth.
I like the way things came to a head.
I liked when the villains ended up dead.
But I'm kidding myself and have to admit
as metaphors for life go, it's bullshit

Taking my mind off my discontent
with a little bit of wish fulfillment

Hit the bar with my friends to enjoy my life
Looked up a recipe and made dinner with the wife
and it was really great, but I felt a weird guilt –
is this too quiet a life to have built?
Have I steered my life wrong?
Nothing I've done is worthy of a song
But I'm kidding myself and have to admit
I'm lucky my problems are basically bullshit

Daily life's such a nonevent
without a little bit of wish fulfillment

I'm sorry you were raised by some overlit sitcom
but a guilt trip's not the way that you should try to make amends
sincerity might save you from a cynic selling stories
that there's any real-life ending that could ever taste as sweet

Turn the page, turn off the screen
and maybe you'll see what I mean
