Hangin' out 
While the monkeys type away 
Waiting in my room all day 

Why be realistic? 
Don't wake me from my dream 
I was individualistic 
They kicked me off the team 

We live in a dump 
Admit it's a dump 
Our friends are all nuts 
And half of 'em drunks 
And if they're not nuts 
Then they're retired nuts 
And that might be the hardest nut 

Makin' plans 
The kind that go awry 
Got a full life-time supply 

Why be realistic? 
Don't wake me from my dream 
I was individualistic 
They kicked me off the team 

We're living with bats 
What's good about that? 
I hear they lay eggs 
And when the eggs hatch 
You gotta believe then 
There's related madness 
From the lead that's in the sealing wax 

We live in a dump 
Admit, it's a dump 
Our friends are all nuts 
And half of 'em drunks 
And if they're not nuts 
Then they're retired nuts 
And that might be the hardest nut 

We live in a dump
