There's Life, but Not as We Know It Lyrics

Is this a life, when you're living inside quotations?
Is it a crime to imagine how you'd kill someone?
Could we be wrong and still be friends?
Live to disagree till the bitter end?

Shoot me down with emoticons
But my life is very short and I've got to get on

I get my kicks from the marvels of human nature
I get my morals from the readings of Dr Seuss
Could you be right when you shout from the left?
Seems you lost the keys to your community chest

Shoot me down on your teletron
But you know it's getting late and I've got to get on

And now the sun is compromising
Only illuminates your blame
It just won't bother trying rising
But it'll give you something new to think about
When you're shouting at the fire with your gas powered mouth

I get confused by these troublemaking rabble rousers
I get confused quite easily these days
Is there just too much stuff in the world?
Too much everything for every boy and girl

Shoot me down with emoticons
But my life is very short and I've got to get on

It's life but not as we know it
There's life in here
But not as we know it
Oh dear

Is there just too much stuff in the world?
Too much everything for every boy and girl

Shoot me down with emoticons
But my life is very short and I've got to get on

It's life but not as we know it
There's life in here
But not as we know it
Oh dear

And now the sun is compromising
Only illuminates your blame
It just won't bother trying rising
But it'll give you something new to think about
When you're shouting at the fire with your gas powered mouth
