Lyrics
Eddie shares his week nights with a six-pack
Dinner, dishes, Internet and porn
Walks the dog then switches on the flat screen
Wonders why a guy like him was ever born
He surfs until he finds some sixties' sitcom
There's Sheriff Andy and ol' Barney Fife
He laughs into the dark
But can't quite catch a spark
He-e-e's looking for a life
Susan spends her Sundays on the sofa
She really loves reality TV
Ogles every dime store Casanova
Could somebody like that someday set her free?
Afterward she makes her way to craigslist
Reads "Single Dad Seeks Single Mom for Wife"
She never had a kid
Now she wishes that she did
She-e-e's just looking for a life
LOOKING FOR THE LIVES THEY ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD
LOOKING FOR A SIGN, A WORD, A PLAN
HOPE AND WISH AND PRAY FOR SOMEONE WHO WON'T TREAT 'EM BAD
ONE GOOD WOMAN, ONE GOOD MAN
Philip has a lot of friends on Facebook
Tim's more of a Twitter kind of guy
Jenny lugs her laptop down to Starbucks
How else to feel connected when you're kind of shy?
It seems like desperation's epidemic
And sometimes boredom cuts just like a knife
Lonely hearts can't race
When they're stuck in cyberspace
They-ey-ey-'re all looking for a life
They're looking for a life
Just looking for a life
Looking for a life
All looking...
