just what i wanted to see   another strip mall for me   another place to shop   just what i wanted to see   it goes with the strip mall perfectly   another parking lot   i can't remember when things weren't always quite as bad as this   i can't remember when that parking lot wasn't there   and i remember when when you used to care about it and get mad about it   and you kept asking why oh why   now you don't notice it and no one seems to mind   when will they ever be satisfied   how many strip malls will it take   how many more millions will they have to make   untill they're happy with what they got   they're gonna turn the world into one big parking lot   and i remember the places i used to play   those places are gone today   they cut down my path for an interstate   my childhood has been paved   and i'll know it'll never be the same   i can't help feeling sorry for this place   what a waste   what a waste   sometimes it hard to figure out   what this life is all about   sometimes it's hard to even see   what it has to do with me   this parking lot that we call home   just doesn't feel like home to me   please tell me that i'm not alone   i'm not the only one to disagree   having a hard time to figure out where i fit into this mess   having a hard time to understand trying to understand why we would want any of this shit   life is more going to the mall   buying what the tv tells you to buy   life is more than having your car   so you can eat and sleep and drive it by   i don't understand i don't understand   i don't understand i just can't see   i guess this just isn't the world for me
