Did You Know - Fifteen

He’s an artist, She’s a dentist

I’m a musician, She’s an obstetrician

She does the books, He does probate

He does construction, I’m an electrician

She’s a student, She’s an infant

I’m a homemaker so I don’t get paid

He’s a trucker, She’s an actor

We’re all fools and we all get played

Did you know there was a time on this land?

Before there was any profession

Did you know there was a time on this land?

Before we traded freedom in for an easy life

Now all we have is tons of shinny toys

And semi-voluntary servitude

And the hope that if we slave and save

Before we reach our grave we’ll have enough

To avoid the state run geriatric hospital

I don’t wanna die alone

You don’t wanna die alone

We’re all gonna die alone

We’re all gonna die so far away from home

It’s the natural consequence of living inside a society, that believes

That because you live in isolation, it means you’re free

He’s a painter, She’s a gardener

He collects cans on the side of the freeway

She a technician, He a politician

He sells drugs so you know he gets paid

I’m a writer, He’s a rock star

He works in prison so he don’t get paid

Fritz is a rocker, Laura sells her boyfriend

We’re all fools and we all get played

Did you know there was a time on this land?

Before there was any profession

Did you know there was a time on this land?

Before we traded freedom in for an easy life

Now all we have is tons of shinny toys

And semi-voluntary servitude

And the hope that if we slave and save

Before we reach our grave we’ll have enough

To avoid the state run geriatric hospital

I don’t wanna die alone

You don’t wanna die alone

We’re all gonna die alone

We’re all gonna die so far away from home

It’s the natural consequence of living inside a society, that believes

That because you live in isolation, it means you’re free

Did you know there was a time on this land?

Did you know there was a time on this land?

Did you know there was a time on this land?

Did you know there was a time on this land?
