lyrics

Lyrics:
*
And I know you want to go all around the world to save your creature comforts full of earth and misery.
Endless growth is the mode and you can burn enough for your goals to
Let everyone around you see.
*
You can color me unsurprised at best, at worst it’s apathy. When you
Question our education, I tell you about your
Movies, your music, your stories,
The protagonist you want to be
In the corner of western civ, in the back of the car,
With the radio on oldies and the noose in your uncles yard.

I don’t got to go that far, I just got to turn my head
I ain’t going to fight my eyes, I ain’t going to bite my teeth.
You ain’t about to get ahold of me, You ain’t about to get ahold of me.

It’s been like this for a while; a danger oppose to myself
It’s been like this for a while; I learned it through the TV set.
*
If the security of purity matters, when I’m
Driving in my car, at work grinding teeth
Action on command, laughing at the grief
Driving in my car, at work grinding teeth
Action on command, laughing at the grief
All alone, or with my friends,
On demand, or in defense,
There’s no sense of consequence
Spreading around

Ooo, baby, they ain’t stopping for me or for you
They ain’t stopping for me or for you
Ooo, baby, they ain’t stopping for me or for you
Or for me or for you

Hanging with my friends again
Hanging with my friends again
Hanging with my friends again
*
He’s got arms galore in the floor boards

He won’t go away
Wants everybody to see
Mistaking the blow back, baby
And it ain’t too clean
Disgracing the model with
No one to follow
He wants you and me to see

It’s always a few more steps to perfection.
