Artificial Life

I go through the motions every day
 Shower and shave and work hard till payday
 Convince myself, that this will suffice
 But I know, it's a fool's paradise
 It's so artificial
 I've gotta, I've gotta an artificial life
 I catch the train at 7:15
 At the corner of Madison and Steen
 Glance at a People magazine's best seller
 Convince myself things couldn't be sweller
 It's so artificial
 I've gotta, gotta an artificial life
 So, I grab a beer right after work
 And I dream of being Captain Kirk
 Always somewhere new to go
 But I eat alone watching stupid talk shows
 It's artificial
 I've gotta an artificial life
 I have fantasies each and every day
 But I'm scared to change and step away
 If I make one of these fantasies real
 Then who knows, what my life would reveal
 It's so artificial
 It's hard to be true-to-life
 True-to-life
 It's so artificial
 I've gotta an artificial life
 It's so artificial, artificial life
 It's artificial
 It's so artificial
 Gotta an artificial life
