The SUV/ The single life/ The family/ The ageless wife/ Ten thousand things/ That lose their shine/ The empty feeling returns/ When they’re mine/ When they’re all mine./ The shopping list in my head/ Keeps my up at night/ Focused on what I lack/ A cancerous appetite./ (chorus) Rock, paper, scissors/ Scissors, paper, rock/ You’re on the top of the bottom/ But the bottom of the top/ Rock, paper, scissors/ Scissors, paper, rock/ Try and feed the hunger/ But the hunger never stops.
