Van Goes Songtext
von Being Dead

I′m not trying to be mean or any of that
This is for your own good
And I'm not going to be traumatized, because you want to be dumb

Day in and day out, I work my job
Job that I could only dream to have
How do you like it now?
How do you like it now?
How do you like it now? Uhh

I just have to clock in and clock out
I′d be myself, but I'm not allowed
How do you like it now?
How do you like it now?
How do you like it now? Uhh


Being slapped, being banged
(When I'm down and out, what I picture)
Getting crap, feeling shame
(Is something greener, like some time to kill)
Gotta be another way
(Show me waterfront, I want serenity)
Let′s get to a common place
(Show me something that I can′t see)
Gather on the ground
I've got no more time to waste
Run down!

Are you asking me to work some more?
Ohh, -kay
It′s fine

Up at dawn and never see the sun
Counting down the moments 'til I′m done
How do you like it now?
How do you like it now?
How do you like it now? Uhh

Being slapped, being banged
(Life's a process, but it can happen to you too)
Getting crap, feeling shame
(If you let ′em get the best of you, who?)
Gotta be another way
(It's your landlord, and they love to give you grief)
I'll just find myself a plot
(Yeah, they really know how to do it)
Live out on the land
Do what I want, no second thought
Hobby!


If I didn′t have to toil away
I′d have time to paint
Pushing my colors around the page
Van Gogh!
