Life Lyrics - American Apathy - Dope

It's getting late and something's waiting in the city tonight 

This place is crazy and it makes me wanna fuck up my mind 

I like the lights, the trippy lights, and all the pornographic stores 

I like this thing as they complain about the junkies and the whores 

When I was young I dreamed I'd come here and I guess I did 

Survive the scum and I'd become someone but never did 

These village slums I let become my life I guess I did 

I'm just a bum pathetic scum that's just the way I live 

This is the life, life 

This is the life, life 

You want the life, life 

You want the life, life 

NO 

It's getting late and guess who's playing in the city tonight 

This place's amazing and it makes me wanna fucking get high 

I love the way the buildings sway and all the garbage on the streets 

The sounds of trains and sirens make lovely music while I sleep 

I'm going farther than I ever thought that far could be 

By 21 I had a gun and ditched authority 

At 22 I never knew the sights that I would see 

At 24 I made the score that killed that part of me 

This is the life, life 

This is the life, life 

You want the life, life 

You want my life, life 

NO
