The Bicycle Thief - (Stoned) Aspirations

I've got a 12 year old boy
And he is always bored
And so are all his friends
And so am I
The schools don't teach you nothin'
You'll ever need to know
So why even go
Why even try

We're going down
And it don't matter what you've heard
We're going down
It don't matter what you want
We're going down

Science took our religion
And women wanna be men
Money is all that matters
Yeah money is all there is
And I just can't stop thinking
Rome fell from within
And in a love affair with violence
Better build more jails

We're going down
And it don't matter what you've heard
We're going down
It don't matter what you think
We're going down

So let's get stoned
And watch TV
Let's just get stoned
So let's get stoned
And watch TV
Let's just get stoned
So let's get stoned
And watch TV
Let's just get stoned
So let's get stoned
And watch TV
Let's just get stoned

There are no simple answers
To these kinds of questions
Why does luxury pull us apart
Why does the apathy keep growing
From the bottom to the top
Hey just 'cause you don't care
Don't mean you're not to blame

We're going down

You think about you
I'll think about me
We'll let's get stoned
Let's just stoned and watch TV
Let's just get stoned…
