lyrics

Things are going well, things are going swell
The company said, “You might take a little haircut”
$15 all you can eat, with limited apps
There’s no wings, there’s no wings, there’s no wings
Won’t agree to pass away, I won’t agree to die
Tonight I’m taking wing and I’m expecting to fly economy
Economy

I can feel something monstrous is rising in my soul and it doesn’t feel as unpleasant as you’d expect
Harvey Danger’s in hell, climbing up a pole – it’s one thing not to be wrong and another to be correct

A man must make concessions and I’m known to be flexible
A man must express intentions and I’m known to be eligible
A man must shed possessions and I’m ready to buy
I’m going to answer all the questions and I’m expecting to fly economy
Economy
Economy

Skeletons in cement shoes
Fish swimming through their heads
The labor boss has got the blues
Now the labor boss is dead
You took the shot for your vanity
And the pills for your sanity
You’re a high roller I can see, but tonight I’m expecting to fly economy
Economy

Things are going great, things are shifting weight
I want to get another haircut but I can’t get an appointment
I’m probably exaggerating – Jerry’s handling the catering
There’s no wings, there’s no wings, there’s no wings

A better living through chemistry, but I haven’t got the grades
A better living through consumerism, but I’m waiting to get paid
A better living through action and I’m willing to try
Everything flies and everything dies economy
Economy
Economy
