When Two And Two Are Five

Two and two are five
Gonna go to work like any other day
Things might be much different
God might be a vengeful one
Your desk might catch on fire
The church will hold a picnic
And Jesus and Elvis will get in free

Two and two are five
Change the world, make them faithful, pay
The trees of the field and maybe the lilies
They will comfort you
But in the twinkling of an eye there will be nothing
Two shakes of somebody's tail, no still, small voice

Meanwhile, I'm gonna sleep all day
Get half drunk each night
Be the nothing that is
I'll be the nothing that will be
I'm gonna sleep all day
Get half drunk each night
Be the nothing that is
I'll be the nothing that will be

And in the darkest corners between conscience and faith
Lord, get my room ready, nothing is adding up
We'll meet the terrible angel
Straddling our pitiful fathers

Meanwhile, I'm gonna sleep all day
Get half drunk each night
Be the nothing that is
I'll be the nothing that will be
I'm gonna sleep all day
Get half drunk each night
Be the nothing that is
I'll be the nothing that will be

All day, each night
All day, each night

Meanwhile, I'm gonna sleep all day (All day)
Get half drunk each night
Be the nothing that is
I'll be the nothing that will be
I'm gonna sleep all day (All day)
Get half drunk each night
Be the nothing that is
I'll be the nothing that will be

All day, each night
All day, each night
All day
