It Must Look Pretty Appealing lyrics

The wheat waving next to you is healthy and so fine

As is dinner with your loved ones every day

But your routine is changeless through the decades of your life

Green pastures, open spaces, holy ways

And it must look pretty appealing, the acres of lights

The crowded festive nights and the millions of others just like you

Yeah it must look pretty appealing, this other world of sin

We keep dreaming of what other people do

The person sitting next to you is dismal and deranged

On the bus ride home from work to end your day

And the food on your table is more plastic than protein

And your intellect depends on your TV

And it must look pretty appealing, the pastoral retreat

The folks on old main street and the few pleasant people just like you

Yeah it must look pretty appealing, the simple way of life

We keep dreaming of what other people do

But we never do what other people do

You're too scared of other people not like you
