lyrics

This town feels strange, a stage with no character on it. Pre-packaged dream you can buy.
A heart of steel but no leg to stand on, a pyramid scheme by design.

Everyday the destination is nowhere, you're only along for the ride.
Grab hold the wheel, a forced position headed straight for the lie.
Commercial deals, the same thing is on every aisle.

An American Strip-mall way of life.

The faces change, just a part of the window dressing. Empty expressions leave you cold.
Pick a line and wait to make a counter offer.
Caffeine prescription gets you by.

Everyday the destination is nowhere, you're only along for the ride.
Grab hold the wheel, a forced position headed straight for the lie.
Commercial deals, the same thing is on every aisle.

An American Strip-mall way of life.

Antiseptic dreams and drive-thru windows.
One size fits all, and it's all a lie.
Check-out stands with junk-food journalism.
The American Strip-mall way of life.

Everywhere it's the same.
Swallow the pill, repeat the pattern.
Welcome to the wonderful life.
