lyrics

you can walk your dog
down any old street
you can shuffle your feet and casually ignore anyone you meet
you can fall in love
oh isn't that sweet
you can make believe you're living a life you've always dreamed

but oh that life means nothing in the greater scheme
all our lives mean nothing in the greater scheme

all the things
that you did this year
all the people you know
all the virtues that you hold dear
pretend to learn
and pretend to care
things will work out fine, but don't pretend
you think you'll be staying here

when it's made clear our lives mean nothing in the greater scheme
all our lives mean nothing in the greater scheme
