"Downsize" ~Grey Archangel~

You are down
So melancholy
You got dumped, or fired, or whatever
You are down
Moping around to a dark cloud
Well cheer up, somewhat
Because I’ve got new for you

Someday you'll see the foil lining
'Cause silver's too expensive
Rely on your Reynold's® to get by.
Someday you'll see the plastic lining
Because now foil's too high-priced
That's the way life will downsize, again

You are sad
So lost in your folly
You lost a friend, a pet, or whatever
You are drowned
In your semisweet tears
Well take a deep breath
Because I’ve got news for you

Someday you'll see the foil lining
'Cause silver's too expensive
Rely on your Reynold's® to get by.
Someday you'll see the plastic lining
Because now foil's too high-priced
That's the way life will downsize, again

So cold
In your own little orbit round the sun
Somewhere near Pluto
And all you’ve got left now
Is a song that’s not even helping you
Oh, well!
Who cares?
I gotta sing it!

Because someday you’ll notice that that candy bar
And your pizza have all gotten smaller
And your heart has gone right with it
Yeah, someday you’ll seek the answers to this all
And you’ll find out
It’s all just a corporate downsize


Oh, someday you'll see the foil lining
'Cause silver's too expensive
Rely on your Reynold's® to get by.
Someday you'll see the plastic lining
Because now foil's too high-priced
That's the way life will downsize, again

Yes, that’s the way life’ll downsize, again...
