[repeat verse pattern]
You sign your own name and I sign mine
They're both the same, but we still get separate rooms [oh, yeah]
You can cover up your guts, but when you cover up your nuts
You're admitting that there must be something wrong
Press any button, milk and honey flow
The world begins behind your neighbor's wall
[repeat chorus]
It all looks fine to the naked eye
But it don't really happen that way at all
Don't happen that way at all
