Father's body wilted away,
And it left a giant hole
His last words were son you got
Great big shoes to fill
Fill them you must
And fill them you will
But my friend the clock and I
We been running round in circles
I don't need your antidote
I'll just settle for the poison
I don't need a pocketful of gold
Small change will do
Ain't got no saving graces
Just pissed off faces
No I don't need a bottle of hope
Some numbness will do
She said you'd be jealous of me now
If you could only see how I am
Life is what you make of it
And yours is a mess
I'm far away from your petty insults
No longer feeling down
And as she speaks I'm trading in
A smile for a frown
I don't need your antidote
I'll just settle for the poison
I don't need a pocketful of gold
Small change will do
Ain't got no saving graces
Just pissed off faces
No I don't need a bottle of hope
Some numbness will do
The government said I had to work
For forty years
Nothing is free there's nothing to keep
No not even dreams
Dream of money wake up to worry
Till we suffocate and die
Apparently we've all been born
To stimulate the economy
I don't need your antidote
I'll just settle for the poison
I don't need a pocketful of gold
Small change will do
Ain't got no saving graces
Just pissed off faces
No I don't need a bottle of hope
Some numbness will do
My body is wilting away
It won't leave no giant hole
My pockets are empty
My change is done
Not jealous of anyone
When I'm done being me
Maybe then I can be
The man you want me to be
But my friend the clock says
It's time to run
Run until we're free
I don't need your antidote
I don't need your antidote
I don't need a pocketful of gold
I don't need a bottle of hope
I don't need your antidote
