I was waiting on my own, waiting for a clue
Summer wind has hit the bends, pepperin' the view
'Round here they say it's dog eat dog but
It's more like pigeon eat fried chicken on the street

We're all just tryin' to get the things we need
We're all just tryin' to get the things we need
There's always someone out there screwin' somebody
But we only see the things we want to see

I swear I missed an episode, the dogs are barking in Morse code
The squirrels' tails in semaphore like they're tryin' to tell us more
'Round here they say the streets are paved but
It's more like we laid down and this town walks over you

We're all just tryin' to get the things we need
We're all just tryin' to get the things we need
There's always someone out there screwin' somebody
But we only see the things we want to see

I guess tailored suits don't grow on trees
And tragedies eventually turn into memes
You only build bridges when the river wets your feet
You only felt the fire when you felt the heat
So here we are
Here we are
Here we are
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

We're all just tryin' to get the things we need
We're all just tryin' to get the things we need
There's always someone out there screwin' somebody
But we only see the things we want to see
