Things You Don't Have To Do

I walk down the diamond-studded concrete canyons
 Nobody looked me in the eye
 Tried to fly to the moon
 Only made it to the sky
 I was looking for an undying truth
 That had a single friend
 And I'm searching for a clear connection
 Without a digital send
 Ain't it just a little scary sometimes
 To find the lies that you know to be true
 I'll find you smiling about
 Things you don't have to do
 Things you don't have to do
 Bill, doesn't call me anymore
 I hear, he's found religion
 He's watchin' Benny Hinn
 With big blonde-haired apprentice beautician
 All the words and gesticulations that came before
 They don't seem to mean a thing
 You can feel fine to drop a dime
 If you're ever hanging by a string
 Ain't it just a little scary sometimes
 To find the lies that you know to be true
 Find you smiling about
 Things you don't have to do
 Things you don't have to do
 I hear voices cryin' out
 Echoes on the boulevard
 Contentious rambling incantations
 Of some senile bard
 There's too much goin' on around here
 To keep my head from spinning
 And this constant acceleration
 Blurs any ties to the beginning
 Ain't it just a little scary sometimes
 To find the lies that you know to be true
 I'll find you smiling about
 Things you don't have to do
 Things you don't have to do
 Things you don't have to do
 Things you don't have to do
