It all seemed so easy in daydreams past the playground…
And schoolyard rules

When nothing’s yours it’s simple to plan your escape…
From all of those fools

Then suddenly you get your way
And you’re kicking yourself  ‘cause you couldn’t

Figure out how to stay

If wishes were money I’d still lose more than I keep…
And that might just be me
But consequence would be interest and it would be steep…
And nothing is free

It’s a small cost to dream
But there’s no refund for nightmares
It would seem

Careful what you’ve bought
Don’t you look to no warranties
You own what you have wrought
Ain’t no money back guarantee

Well I guess life ain’t fair
But I know life don’t care
And there’s no one to blame
From on high to the lowly
For if you’re loved or you’re lonely
It’s the one and only game

Careful what you’ve bought
And don’t you look to no warranties
You own what you have wrought
Your money back guarantee
Or reprieves
So please
I’m down on my knees
Believe me

Don’t you try
To deny
Any lie you might buy
Is deceiving
Ain’t no leaving

For free

So you’ve got all your ducks in a row
Have you figured out what you owe
Until you settle your bill
It won’t let you go

Careful what you’ve bought
And don’t you look to no warranties
You own what you have wrought
Ain’t no money back guarantee
