The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song,
They serenade the weekend squire
Who just came out to mow his lawn.
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
Charcoal burning everywhere,
Rows of houses that are all the same,
And no one seems to care.
See Mrs. Gray, she's proud today
Because her roses are in bloom,
And Mr. Green, he's so serene,
He's got a TV in every room.
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
Here in Status Symbol Land,
Mothers complain about how hard life is,
And the kids just don't understand.
Creature comfort goals, they only numb my soul,
And make it hard for me to see.
Ahhh...thoughts all seem to stray to places far away,
I need a change of scenery.
Ta ta ta ta, ta ta ta ta... (etc.)
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
Charcoal burning everywhere.
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
Here in Status Symbol Land.
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
(A pleasant valley Sunday)
Another pleasant valley Sunday,
(A pleasant valley Sunday)
(fade out)In a mirror of you
Reflections of you
You're showing what you feel like inside
Need the power of two
Just me and you
An image that you hold in your mind
Some time's you're wrong and then
Some time's you're right
You don't expect me to put up a fight
I'm sick and tired of all of your lies
I'm sick and tired and I'm saying good bye
I(I)(I) don't need this poison
I(I)(I) don't need control
I(I)(I) don't need forgiveness
I(I)(I) don't need you
You're a shadow of me
What I used to be
I'm fading as the light dims outside
I, I know what you need
Because I can see
I'm taking over thoughts in your mind
Some time's you're wrong and then
Some time's you're right
You're in the dark
So I'll turn on the light
I'm sick and tired of all of your lies
I'm fucking tired and I'm saying good bye
I(I)(I) don't need this poison
I(I)(I) don't need control
I(I)(I) don't need forgiveness
I(I)(I) don't need you
I(I)(I) don't need this poison
I(I)(I) don't need control
I(I)(I) don't need forgiveness
I(I)(I) don't need
I(I)(I) don't need this poison
I(I)(I) don't need control
I(I)(I) don't need forgiveness
I(I)(I) don't need you
