Out on the sidewalks the criminals walk without a care
In front of cameras for security purposes with no one on the other end
The audience is at home and theyre getting prepared

But nothing really ever happens here

Inside of bedrooms significant others talk and nod and stare
Discussing problems of how to cope with their poor little jen
Shes hangin out with a boy and a car and she cut off all her hair

cause nothing really ever happens

Here life just might last too long
Here life just goes on

Inside of boardrooms the criminals grab their market share
Behind cameras as personalities assault us with details
Its always safe on this side of the screen but were not getting anywhere
We bitch and complain were reality queens without sticking out our necks

So nothing really ever happens

Here life just might last too long
Here life just goes on
Real life always lasts too long
Real life just gets old

As long as we get scared
As long as we stay scared

Nothing really ever happens

Here

You want to buy it out
You want to buy it out
You want to buy it out (Its beautiful out here)
You want to buy it out ( this time of year)
You want to buy it out (but you dont care)
You want to buy it out

Here life just might last too long
Here life just goes on
Real life just might last too long
Life goes on as

long as we get scared
As long as we stay scared

Nothin really ever happens here
