lyrics

All these things became possible so we thought they were good
All these things became available so we figured that we should
And a theoretical jaguar stalking the wild
Is not as urgent as my coffee in the morning when I'm tired.

All these things felt so decadent they were so hard to quit
And they were so damn convenient no one really even tripped
And something that's never happened is so hard to predict
Said the turkey to the farmer on the day he was picked

And if it appears like there was no reason or rhyme
Well it all seemed like a good idea at the time

If there's anyone left to be sorry to I extend my regrets
My heart-felt apologies however insufficient
Everyone felt so innocent as they murdered away
They went to the gallows with a smile and a wave

And if you're feeling a little angry and you're wondering "why?"
It all seemed like a good idea at the time
