Sad Dumb Game

I see a lot of hippies crying about the flowers in their hair
 Walking in their nicely painted houses
 With cool-conditioned air
 Saying, "I've chosen to be happy"
 And other little quips from Voltaire
 I'm cool-conditioned strategy
 With underwhelming flair
 Says I work hard for all the money that I make
 Pay close enough attention, they'll even give a little bit away
 They work hard for the branding
 They work harder for the take
 I see them give themselves a little pep-talk right before they take the stage

 What a sad, dumb game
 What a sad, dumb game
 I see a lotta hippies pushing smoke into the air
 Walking into new inflated housing
 With cool-conditioned air
 Saying, "I've chosen to be special"
 With a blonde, well-meaning stare
 A calculated strategy or an underwhelming prayer
 Says I work hard for all the money that I make
 Pay close enough attention, they'll even give a little bit away
 They work hard for the branding
 They work harder for the take
 I see them give themselves a little pep-talk right before they take the stage
