The Menzingers - Nice Things lyrics
[The Menzingers - Nice Things lyrics]
The western wall is a jumbo screen
At the gate
There is an automated teller machine
Sir, empty your pockets, please, before you
Before you file through
The king and queen foreclosed on their crowns
While the joker laughed and made his rounds
He was drunk, carrying on self-satisfied
The western walls are closing in
Are you happy, sane, are you rich
Are you thin?
Dreaming their dreams? Singing songs
Of another time?
Is your gold so strangely acquired?
Has your name become known and desired?
Have you degenerated? Are you
Running out of time?
Do you want nice things? Sure you do
Do you call nice things your own?
Do you want nice things? Sure you do
Do you call nice things your own?
Do you want 'em? Do you want to feel safe?
Do you want 'em? Do you want to feel safe?
Do you want 'em? Do you want to feel safe?
Do you want 'em? Do you want to feel safe?
Want to feel safe?
Climb the wall, before the fall
Climb the wall, before the fall
Climb the wall, before the fall
Climb the wall, before the fall
Climb the wall, before the fall
Climb the wall, before the fall
(No one is waiting for, nobody's waiting)
(No one is waiting for you)
At the gate
There is an automated teller machine
Sir, empty your pockets, please, before you
Before you file through
The king and queen foreclosed on their crowns
While the joker laughed and made his rounds
He was drunk, carrying on self-satisfied
The western walls are closing in
Are you happy, sane, are you rich
Are you thin?
Dreaming their dreams? Singing songs
Of another time?
Is your gold so strangely acquired?
Has your name become known and desired?
Have you degenerated? Are you
Running out of time?
Do you want nice things? Sure you do
Do you call nice things your own?
Do you want nice things? Sure you do
Do you call nice things your own?
Do you want 'em? Do you want to feel safe?
Do you want 'em? Do you want to feel safe?
Do you want 'em? Do you want to feel safe?
Do you want 'em? Do you want to feel safe?
Want to feel safe?
Climb the wall, before the fall
Climb the wall, before the fall
Climb the wall, before the fall
Climb the wall, before the fall
Climb the wall, before the fall
Climb the wall, before the fall
(No one is waiting for, nobody's waiting)
(No one is waiting for you)
