Laurie Levine - Big House Lyrics

Pick up todays paper
But soon I throw it down
Looks like it's another
Day of numbing, dosing headlines
Brain-washing and lies
Propagandas on the incline

Think I'll go make some coffee
Stir my guilt and sip it down
It's so easy to swallow
Behind this
White picket fence
This rose-studded wall
And I can't even see past the electric wires i

Into my neighbours gardens
They live next door but these fences and walls ensure
We forget they're there at all
No tea and cookies for Mrs Sims next door
I don't even know her first name and I've never seen her before

I live in a big house but the world outside is small
And it's so much
So much easier
To live inside this bubble where I'm hard to find
But it's so easy to hide
To hide

Switch on the TV
So I can catch a glimpse
Of the outside world for
Just a little while

But everything I see revolves around ads selling a lifestyle
No one can afford to lead
And there are 60 channels
And each one sells a lie
And each lie is more convincing
It pulls you in each time
And each time I wonder if
I am the only one that cannot stomach all these

Mass-produced illusions we're fed each day
Push me back into a corner, they make me wanna run away
And so I block my ears
Close my eyes
To shell all this bullshit that I never subscribed

I live in a big house but the world outside is small
And it's so much
So much easier
To live inside this bubble where I'm hard to find
Where it's so easy to hide
To hide

No, I won't
Come out now
Don't even try to overpower
Me, I've shut my eyes and closed my
Ears and everything is quiet

In my head
Can't get in
I locked my house, I've locked them out
Bosses of the outside world
Never make it in
To my house

I live in a big house but the world outside is small
And it's so much
So much easier to live inside this bubble where I'm hard to find
Where it's so easy to hide
To hide

To hide
To hide
To hide
To hide
To hide
To hide
To hide
To hide
To hide
