lyrics

Security:
A matching set of dishes, kids, and cats.
That’s washing a craft beer down with a Pabst.
That’s believing that what you love will last.

Security.
No one can top your technique.
Life story: geek to chic,
going to the car wash for the second time this week.

Security-- the illusion that you’ll never get sick.
Security-- you built your life brick by brick.
Security-- the feeling that you won’t have to say goodbye,
the illusion that you’ll never die.

Security.
You got a husband, wife,
dream home and a Ginsu knife.
Worked out the all the issues that you had with your sex life.

Security.
You shut the door and lock your mind,
so sure that someone walks behind.
He’s not your soul mate,
but you will find him in time.

Security-- to expect that you won’t get burned
Security-- to presume that you’ll get what you’ve earned.
Security-- in college that’s what you learned:
the illusion that your luck will never turn.

Security:
You assuming that the past was correct.
Amending it when you think it’s best.
The freedom to go berserk
cause a protecting force is at work.

Security.
You’ve got a gun and credit.
If you go bankrupt you can pawn or sell it.
Till then you will wear white pearls and black velvet.

Security-- the illusion that ignorance is bliss.
Security-- if you get bored, you can always call it quits
Security-- next time, you’ll be out on your ass.
It’s here but it’s going fast.

Security.
