Waste of Time and Money

[Verse 1]
Once I saw the galaxies in your Jack and Coke eyes
And the sacrificial temple where your monster always dies
Once I wrote a gospel out of every word you say
And now you're on the front page of the USA Today

[Chorus 1]
Cutting to the front of the line
I find my mind
Is no place to raise a family
And I was looking all over for you, baby
You were always right in front of me
And tonight I'm declaring your love
To be a waste of time and money

[Verse 2]
Once you raised alpacas with your pet Komodo dragon
While I was eating cardboard in my father's station wagon
Once I sold everything I owned to buy your diamond ring
And now you're over at CNN sitting down with Larry King

[Chorus 2]
After five bottles of wine
My friends opine
That I should consider therapy
But they've clearly never been with you, baby
They don't know about the things that you've done to me
And tonight I'm declaring my life
Is a joke nowhere near funny

[Outro]
All publicity is good publicity
When you sell your conscience in this city
Achieving high elasticity
Shock your system with electricity

All publicity is good publicity (Take us back to where we started)
When you sell your conscience in this city (Part the seas we never parted)
Achieving high elasticity (Flowers for the brokenhearted)
Shock your system with electricity (Take us back to where we started)
All publicity is good publicity (Part the seas we never parted)
When you sell your conscience in this city (Take us back to where we started)
