In a Large Room with No Light

Lana drew a picture in school today
One that made her mother cry
A picture of a woman with a drink in her hand
Standing by a child with no eyes

Watching her reaction based upon revenge
Babies blown to kingdom come
Damn the logic, cartoon characters
Look better when they're on the run
Danny dropped the dime on his girlfriend
He said he didn't wanna go to jail alone
The seed lives in the same mind
With the thought that says we all should be stoned

The people lookin' for angels in the sky
Whenever they're broken-hearted
Love is grown, seeds are sown
A fire don't burn unless it's started

La la la la la la, tra-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la

[Chorus]
Did you ever feel that life was like lookin' for a penny
In a large room with no light?
A sophisticated mass-produced cacophony
Of no-win situations that aren't right?

Sha-la la la la la, sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la

Every time you wake up there's a little motherfucker
Talkin' big stuff in your face
(Are you happy?)
You only get the kind of people that open their mouth
Just to swap feet
Welcome to the rat race
Oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh oh

[Chorus]
Did you ever feel that life was like lookin' for a penny
In a large room with no light?
A sophisticated mass-produced cacophony
Of no-win situations that aren't right?

[Chorus]
Oh, if you could just pass your history class
Maybe life would be alright
Until then you'll be lookin' for a penny
In a large room with no light
Yeah

Sha-la la la la la, sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la

No light
No light
No light
No light
No light
No light
