Comic Life - Matt Maltese

You push away the night

Turn on the TV light

Drink coffee and put on a shirt

You join the peoples' cries

The entertainment starts

You laugh, you scream, you get violent

And everything’s going on outside

Everything’s going on outside

And there ain’t much to do but try to get inside

Everything’s going on outside

Everything’s going on outside

You take your tiny pills and live your comic life

You drink and take a bath

Have sex in someone’s house

You leave, go to work, get your head down

Your trivial mind gets filled

With chocolate advert spiel

What a funny, decrepit little world

And everything’s going on outside

Everything’s going on outside

And there ain’t much to do but try to get inside

Everything’s going on outside

Everything’s going on outside

You take your tiny pills and live your comic life

If you don’t go out today

How are you meant to make your wise cracks, kid?

(Wise cracks, kid)

If you don’t go out today

How are you meant to write your sad songs?

Well, everything’s going on outside

Everything’s going on outside

You read your self-help books and nurse your second pint

Everything’s going on outside

Everything’s going on outside

You take your tiny pills and live your comic life

I’ll just take my tiny pills

And live my comic life
