[Verse 1]
Sweet little boxes up on a hill
Big happy families taking their pills
Mom's drinking whiskey, cries in the sink
Daddy’s been missing for over a week

[Refrain]
La-la-la-la
Living our lives

[Verse 2]
Sister's a model, but she doesn't eat
She’s still the person that we all wanna be
Brother plays football, he's our pride and joy
All the girls want him, but he wants the boys

[Refrain]
La-la-la-la
Living our lives
La-la-la-la-la-la
Living the life

[Chorus]
Looks like a dream, we're half asleep
Nothing is quite, quite what it seems
The grass might be green, the truth always hurts
It's all astroturf
[Post-Chorus]
Astroturf
Astroturf
Astroturf
Astroturf, astroturf
Astroturf
Astroturf
Oh God, it's astroturf
Astroturf

[Bridge]
Everyone's perfect, everyone's mean
Everyone's laughing, what’s wrong with me?
Everyone’s jealous of somebody else
Why aren't we happy just being ourselves?
Everyone’s perfect, everyone's mean
Everyone's laughing, they're laughing at me
Everyone’s jealous of somebody else
Why aren't we happy just being ourselves?

[Refrain]
La-la-la-la-la-la
Living our lives
La-la-la-la-la-la
Living the life
La-la-la-la-la-la
Living our lives
La-la-la-la-la-la
Living the life
[Chorus]
Looks like a dream, we're half asleep
Nothing is quite, quite what it seems
The grass might be green, the truth always hurts
It's all astroturf
