A Good Time to be Dumb

from Pause & Effect by Strangers From Afar

lyrics

Nothin’ I can’t afford I don’t need it but I’m bored
And the shippin’s free The shippin’s free

I won’t wait up for you So many things on the phone
You gotta do You gotta do

Everything is everywhere TV shows & Shiny screens
That make you stare Down

It’s a good time
A good time
It’s a good time To be dumb

They try to make us choose a team
Times ain’t like they used to be and they never were they never were

We can’t listen when we talk
We’re gonna drive but-may-be-we should walk We should walk

Things are weird enough for me
I don’t know why we all need conspiracies

It’s a good time
A good time
It’s a good time to be dumb

We got rid of the truth
Only heard what-we wanted to

I said I’d make it up to you
Just never figured out what to do What to do

You won’t believe what they believe
Gonna make a friend out of fallen leaves

It’s a good time
A good time
It’s a good time to be dumb

This song ain’t about you
I got stoned cuz I needed nothin’ to do Nothin’ to do

I got drunk cuz I was stoned
Smoked a cigarette like it was all I own It’s all I own

Woke up and did it again
Where you’re goin’ is where you been Where you been

It’s a good time
A good time
It’s a good time to be dumb

Nothin’ I can’t afford I don’t need it but I’m bored
And the shippin’s free The shippin’s free…
