Don’t look so woebegone
There’s no world beyond the windows
And when the windows are shut
The day is done
It’s done
Just pull the covers up
It’s where we go to sleep and choke our thoughts
And keep still until dawn
I’m living the dream
And everything’s perfect
Look mom, I’m happy
It’s just like we rehearsed it
No need to sigh
‘Cause planet Earth can’t fit inside
A small blue half-moon bag
Under your eyes
And this will all be televised
(All be televised)
Be glad you got the part!
Remember
Someday we’ll be ejected from the world like a cartridge
I think you need a paper bag
I thought you got used to the wobble!
But now you’re dizzy again
Not again
Again
Oh no
I’m eating my greens
And everything’s worth it
Tell dad I’m healthy
Just like he predicted
No need to sigh
‘Cause planet Earth can’t fit inside
A small blue half-moon bag
Under your eyes
And this will all be televised
(All be televised)
Be glad you got the part!
Remember
Someday we’ll be ejected from the world like a cartridge
