1,000 months in a bell jar, suffocate
Pay your dues to the neon magistrate
Eat your cake as soon as you’re allowed

Wade your way through the sea of drudgery
Set your course to a bearing southerly 
Waiting for the scene to wrap around

If heaven were a place, it would cost a billion
Build up a wall to to protect from all the beggars
Offer up your soul to the HOA
And pray they give you a place to stay forever

Wade, wade, wade
Wade, wade, wade

Words don’t count if they’re never spoken, and 
Bills don’t count if you never open them
Pay no mind, the others seldom do

Discount sheep at the temple marketplace
Den of thieves and the holy bargain chase
Hurry now, the end is coming soon

Ante up the cash for a screen to tell you
Everything you’re missing so the beast can sell you out
Slaughter up a lamb to the gods of commerce
$9.95 for the platinum psalm verse now

Wade, wade, wade
Wade, wade, wade

The ocean’s rising, you don’t float
The debt is climbing, you don’t float 
The horsemen riding, you don’t float
Noah, did you bring a boat?

Wade, wade, wade
Wade, wade, wade

Wade, wade, wade
Wade, wade, wade
