Everybody

(album: hey Zeus! - 1993)

She thinks she needs to buy more jewelry
She thinks she needs a guy with strings
She thinks she needs all new friends
She thinks she needs to be a perfect teen
She needs to get straight
She needs to stop shaking
She needs to stop making everybody rich, everybody rich
I think I need to enlist in the navy
I think I need a dominatrix
I think I need to live in the desert
I think I need to take a little trip
I need to stop sleeping
I need to stop dreaming
I need to stop making everybody guess, everybody guess
Here's that perfect photograph
Of dogs and cats and how they act
So quit with the guilt trip it just ain't done
I've tried safe sex but it's no fun
Now, everybody's fine. Everybody's fine
Everybody we're all fine
We've got to stop breaking down
We've got to stop waking up
We've got to stop making everybody mad, everybody mad
He thinks he needs a higher office
He thinks he needs a bigger muzzle
An' he thinks he needs a younger woman
Well, maybe he just needs another station
He needs to shut up
He needs to listen
He needs to stop making everybody tired, everybody tired
The roots in the cellar are on the make
The birds in the trees, yeah, they're all fake
You can't find what you can't hide
Don't look for me, I ain't outside
Now, everybody's fine. Everybody's fine
Everybody we're all fine
Everybody we're all fine
