Ready For Anything
I forget
The difference between being in love
And being familiar
There's 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 someone's 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
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
You know still waters can run shallow too
I could watch myself run dry

So I spend a lot of time watching my TV
And I take what they give me and I give them nothing
But I waste a lot of time watching my TV
Got me right where they want me
Ready for anything

I forget
The difference between being alive
And living through somebody else
Acting out somebody else's life
