TEGAN AND SARA LYRICS - Clever Meals

"Clever Meals"



They aren't desperate for love and affection

They're desperate for you

And as they sit out there all sly and sure

Does anyone feel as they do

I'm quite sure we'll find one another

In a place better than this

A time filled with us

And we'll send up our shooting stars and comets

And we'll make our little gestures

We'll make our little comments

This song is my anthem and it makes up my ideals

And who I am

Has benefitted from

All my cleverly planned meals

I'm stripped and vital

And I see rules that almost fit

And if I voice my opinion

Will you stay and sit

And as I stand here screaming in despair

I say yes this is my life

And yes you should care

This song is my anthem and it makes up my ideals

And who I am has benefitted from

All my cleverly planned meals

Hardly happy at all

And I'm ready to take the fall

We pay for the stupid things

We've done where I come from

Can you sit through this

Or is it gonna be too deep

Will you ever use common sense

I hear it comes pretty cheap

And if I speak more clearly

If I make more sense

Will you shut your mouth

You won't come across so dense

Close your eyes and then you free your mind

You're free to fly
