Lyrics

LIVING OFF THE GRID
(Step One: How to Shrug off a Troubled Planet)
Caught a real big fish today, 20 lbs.,
Threw it back in the bay
What can I say, it was a noble thing
Caught a real big fish today
Banker on Wall Street (2 million K)
I had to throw him back, he was just a fling.
Still I’m thriving while I’m hiding, Living off The Grid. Caught a real bad cold today
Went to the gym just to work it away
Now I feel just fine, bein’ sick ain’t my thing
I caught a glimpse of you today, out with a babe in a bar by the bay What can I say, I guess I ain’t your thing
Still I’m thriving while I’m hiding, Living off The Grid. Threw away my cell, you can hardly tell
You’re so busy takin’ selfies in the sun.
Caught an article today, ‘bout how the world’s in deep decay What can I say, you’ve gotta shrug it off
I caught a train bound to the bay
Got on a boat just yesterday
This island’s fine, although the seas get rough
Still I’m thriving while I’m hidin’, Living off The Grid
