Big Wave

Living your life in the gray 
Is the new American way 
We're spending what we haven't made

And we save our money in good faith
And we work hard for our living wage
But still the banks got to break

Because the dream's a lie 
And the snake, it bit you 
When you were awake 
And the books all fried
You are bankrupting 
Because all the loans you take 

Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave 
It's going to hit you with a big wave 

I can't sleep these days 
And my blues, they won't go away 
So there are these little pills I been taking 
And my doctor, she says that they're safe 
But I been sleepwalking down to the lake 
And waking up in the water 

And the feeling's a lie 
But the snake, it bit me 
When I wasn't awake 
And the scripts, they lie 
I have been poisoned from
All the things I take

Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave 
It's going to hit me with a big wave 
Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave 
It's going to hit you with a big wave 

I know you feel deprived 
(You don't trust me) 
All of us still alive 
(You never touch me) 
It's really just that I don't feel 
Like it much these days 

And my love's a lie 
Because the snake, he visits me 
When you are away 
And your dreams don't lie 
I have been corrupted 
Because all the lovers I take 

Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave
You're going to hit me with a big wave
Big wave, do do do
Big wave, do do do
Big wave 
It's going to hit you with a big wave 

Big wave, da da da
Big wave, do do do
Big wave 
It's going to hit you with a big wave
