Folds on Fire - Another Day in Paradise Lyrics

15 years on, gotta be home before dark
Dealers and the bangers circlin' like sharks
Worn down faces on people and places
Want out of here, have a life my mama praises
I'm daring to defy
The ones who won't even try

40 years on, this rat race is burning me out
Open my bottle, tune in to tune out
Workin' out how to make my big score
I'm playing a game I hate, this life's a big bore
I'm stuck on the spinning wheel
Need to go find my Batmobile

Every one of us facing our own moments
In a world that's so electrifying
A constant stream of random components
In a world that's so petrifying

All that we see and all that we do
The dreams and the tears, our hopes and our fears
When we lay down and close our eyes
Is the time to realize
That it's just been another day in paradise
Oh it's just been another day in paradise

90 years on, and the nurse took my tray away
Got the news on marveling at how nothing's changed
I've seen my share of human progress and pain
The marvelous inventions and incredible gains
So wonderfully brilliant
Yet no ones learned a damn thing

Every one of us facing our own moments
In a world that's so electrifying
A constant stream of random components
In a world that's so petrifying

All that we see and all that we do
The dreams and tears, our hopes and our fears
When we lay down and close our eyes
Is the time to realize
That it's just been another day in paradise
Oh it's just one more day in paradise
