Ready for Anything

I forget the difference between being in love
And being familiar with something I hope I’m above.
Hear a lie enough and it cuts like the Gospel, when you’re half-awake,
no mistake is impossible.
I’m a child again, lost and happy in make-believe
But I’m lazy now, so someon’es pretending for me.
An untouchable man who holds his hand out to millions
Anyone can share his beautiful heroes and ugly villains
I spend a lot of time watching my TV, I take what they give me, and I give them
nothing
But I waste a lot of time watching my TV, they’ve got me right where they want
me, Ready for anything.
I forget the difference between being loved and being a loose-pocket,
worn-wallet, short-sighted friend to lift money off of.
Maybe I’m playing their game, so I can have a show where I stick 'em like a pig
one day --
Tell 'em they can go to Hell 'cause they don’t know another way …
Or maybe I’m here 'cause it’s something to do …
Still waters can run shallow too and I could watch myself run dry.
I forget the difference between being alive
And living through somebody else who’s acting out somebody else’s life.
