NPC (Happy Face)

I stare out the window
As I let the phone ring
I keep my voice low
As I quietly sing
I swear I'm so sick of that sound
That email ping
Because when I read them
There is no substance
They don't mean a thing
Blah, blah, this and that
Yeah, yeah, I don't give a crap

Oops, sorry
Let me put on my happy face
It's time to engage in the rat race

Sometimes I question my brain
And wonder if I'm actually sane
But at the end of the day
I'd still rather be me

Than live like an NPC
Beep-bop, burp-burp, stop pain
Beep-bop, burp-burp, stop pain
Beep-bop, burp-burp, stop pain
Brain, brain, brain, brain, brain
What

Corporations, politicians
And the countless contradictions
Do I really need to list them
Yeah, all I ever wanted was to learn how to play the system
No, I'm not ashamed of the mental games I play
Why would I feel bad for playing them so I get my way
I can see the corruption
So I don't care what the powerful say
They don't care for you nor do they care for me
So why would I care for them when I'm smart enough to use them and live free

Oops, sorry
Let me put on my happy face
It's time to engage in the rat race

Sometimes I question my brain
And wonder if I'm actually sane
But at the end of the day
I'd still rather be me
Than live like an NPC

Beep-bop, burp-burp, stop pain
Beep-bop, burp-burp, stop pain
Beep-bop, burp-burp, stop pain
Brain, brain, brain, brain, brain
Rot

Oh, hey
I hope your day was nice
Hey, yeah
Just another day in paradise
I hear you, another day
Another dollar
Yeah, but you know I can't breathe in this collar
What are we doing

No, I won't put on my happy face
I don't wanna be part of this
Rat race

Sometimes I question my brain
And wonder if I'm actually sane
But at the end of the day
I'd still rather be me

Than live like an NPC
Beep-bop, burp-burp, stop brain
Beep-bop, burp-burp, stop brain
Beep-bop, burp-burp, stop brain
