Lyrics

We've got everything
We've got everything
We've got everything down to a science, so I guess we know everything

We know everything (we know, we know)
We know everything (we know)
We know everything was built to expire, so I guess we've learned everything

If we carried it out to sea, pushed it over the edge we'd have all been through
Well first off gary got drunk, fell asleep in his car 'til about noon
Aw, flat-top tony got all messed up, split his lip chasin' cheap perfume
Well look at our boat in the bay, it looks like some sad-ass little canoe

We've done everything (we've done, we've done, we've done)
We've done everything
We've done everything like trial by fire
So I guess we'll stop trying now
[Never try anything]

We've tried everything
We've tried everything (we've tried)
We've tried everything half-assed and as liars
And that's how we got everything
[We got it all]

If we carried it out to sea, pushed it over the edge
We could've all been through
Well no one even bothered showing up, but we still did what we should've thought through

We crashed in like waves into the store
Didn't want it, didn't need it but we knew that we could see it so we opened up the door
We receded like waves out of the store
Didn't want it, didn't need it but we knew that we could steal it, left me dying on the floor

[We were dead lying there on the floor]

(We've got, we've got, we've got, we've got, we've got)
(We've got, we've got, we've got, we've got, we've got)
(We've got)

Well everyone an air force or a fat-ass cook

We've got everything (we've got, we've got, we've got)
We've got everything (we've got)
We've got everything down to a science so I guess we know everything

We've got everything (we've got everything)
We've done everything (we've done everything)
We've tried everything (we've done everything)
We've got everything (we've got everything)
We've got everything
