Its so mean
Its crueler than your dreams
And its worse than it seems
Add it up
Stick it in your cup
Youre sure to get enough
It runneth over now
You cant complain no more
The boards are crackin now
You better not go down

Lifes so cheap
Its cheaper than it looks
You can learn that from books
Stay in the house
So clear of what you fear
And youre old beyond your years
It runneth over now
You cant complain no more
The boards are crackin now
You better not go down

Leaving your long shadows
Leaning into space
And your heart scrambled
Life is written all over your face

Counterfeit
The bankroll that was his
Fist of change that was yours
A lifes so cheap
It was cheaper than it looked
You can learn that from books
It runneth over now
You cant complain no more
The boards are crackin now
You better not go down

Leave you with a prayer book
And a pocket full of grace
And your heart scrambled
Life is written all over your face

Lifes so cheap
Lifes so cheap
Its so mean
Its crueler than your dreams
And its worse than it seems
Lifes so cheap
Its so mean
Lifes so cheap
Its so mean
Lifes so cheap

Whisper in my ear
Whisper in my ear
Whisper in the night
Whisper all the time
