It seemed so easy in daydreams past the playground
And schoolyard rules


When nothing's yours it's simple to plan your escape
From all of those fools


And suddenly you get your way
And you're kicking yourself
Cause you couldn't figure out how to stay


If wishes were money I'd still lose more than I keep
And that might just be me

But consequence would be interest and it would be steep
And nothing is free


It's a small cost to dream
But there's no refund for nightmares
It would seem


Careful what you've bought
Don't you look to no warranties

You own what you have wrought
Ain't no money back
Money back guarantee


Well I guess life ain't fair
But I know life don't care

And there's no one to blame
From on high to the lowly
For if you're loved or you're lonely

It's the one and only game

Careful what you've bought

And don't you look to no warranties
You own what you have wrought
Your money back guarantee

Or reprieves
So please
I'm down on my knees

Believe me

Don't you try

To deny
Any lie you might buy
Is deceiving

Ain't no leaving for free

So you've got all your ducks in a row

Have you figured out what you owe
Until you settle your bill
It won't let you go


Careful what you've bought
And don't you look to no warranties

You own what you have wrought
Ain't no money back
Money back guarantee
