Playing Along

Pretend life is a game
Don't know the rules
Don't mean a thing
Do your worst do whatever it takes
Still pickin' up speed
Still pumpin' the brakes

Driving home with one eye closed
Mama don't approve of the life I chose
Who knows if it's right or wrong
Who cares I'm just playing along

Pray-tell I'm dying to know
What do you think I ought to do with my soul
Higher education got me feelin low
Papa always wanted the life I chose
Light up a candle I want to believe
Loch Ness Bigfoot Kennedy
Stars and Stripes America strong
Jk lol we're just playing along

I can't believe it's happening
I'm tired of most everything
I'm happily and tragically
Sadder than the younger me
The older me is cackling
It's all become a parody
It must be living happily
Everly and afterly
Choking on economy
Dastardly and drastically
Comically and casually
Cavalier and formerly
Creature of the century
Prettier in poverty
Fattening in luxury
Clap along and sing with me
