lyrics

You grew up in a giant house, with chandeliers, atomic clocks
So you were always right on time, with bow tie, tux and leather shoes
Played in your backyard labyrinth, composed of white rose bushes
Graduated North Star Prep, class of 2089

You ate fancy food, truffles and wiggling oysters
Were in a strange, strange mood lit up by stained-glass windows
With Jesus staring down at you, naked and starving
In your starched Calvin Klein suit, in freshly polished leather shoes

Hey I wanna throw it all away
With a shiny, sparkling, clean slate
Hey, I wanna throw it all away
I never liked Bruce Wayne

Was it the Sibyl who said we'd die by what could save us
Whether space travel or Christ, it's all just what you make it
You gave your estate to the alcoholic homeless at Dover Beach
Joined the Star Alliance, got baptized in the ghetto's streets

Hey I wanna throw it all away
With a shiny, sparkling, clean slate
Hey, I wanna throw it all away
I never liked Bruce Wayne
Hey, I wanna throw it all away
Today's a brand new day

Not in a song
Major Organ and The Adding Machine's "Life Form (Transmission Received)"
